    Urgent! Contain dos program.

    Is there any way to contain a dos program so that it doesn't run full screen? Any programs that do this?

    open up any DOS window, and if its in full screen, press Enter.

    Then when it starts running within a Window, go to Properties and set it so that it doesn't run in full screen

    The correct key combo to switch from full-screen to windowed (and vice-versa) is <Alt>+<Enter>

    Yeah, Alt+Enter. I missed out on the Alt. :embarassed smiley:

    We tried that and it didn't work. But oh well. I don't need it anymore.

    Thanks
