That is ok. Just write it more polite and without unnecessary numbers.

Create a link on desktop to the application executable. Then right click on the icon and select properties.
In shortcut tab change the run to maximalized windows.

Also please look in the settings of the application/game, if it has settings to run in windowed form.

The game,and what u told me to do,I´ved done it.But same window styel.The game are on normal mode ...but I stil see them like a windowX(

Perhaps if you tell us what the game is it will help.

Are these proper games, windows built in or internet ones.

usually there is a setting in the game to set graphics properties , i would expect this to be the place to set the game to full screen.

hi. vista isn't good for games, i would suggest XP. I tried installing some games in my vista, didnt work. But when i installed them in XP they worked pretty well.
So i suggest XP for games with high graphics.

From Mr. Google:
go into options, video, display options, and change it from full screen to windowed mode.

There is also a text config file somewhere in the folder of CS. Try to find it and change it there manually. This is not a Windows issue, but a game config issue.
