Shortcut Command

What command do I add to my TFC shortcut that will make it run in a Window instead of Full Screen?

Damn, I used to have all those commands on a website. I've lost the link to it. Sorry Nanite, I'm not sure what that command is. I can't remember. I will keep an eye on this post for the answer though.

Hmm...okay I tried it and my office machine can't handle runnign in the window. Just one problem. I removed the command from teh shortcut but the damn thing still starts in a window and is laggy as hell. How do I get it back to "normal?"

Here it is, the fix. You need to modify two registry values.

HKCU\Software\Valve\Half-Life\Settings

EngineAllowWindowed and EngineModeWindowed

Both of those values should be set to

0 for full screen
1 for windowed

My registry does not have an entry for EnginAllowWindowed it does have the EngineModeWindowed.

Could be Win98 SE here. My PC is too old and too slow for WIN2K.

Have you tried disabling it from the standard TFC/Half-Life settings? Launch TFC, then go Configuration-->Video-->Video Modes. There's a checkbox at the bottom to enable/disable Run in Window. That works for me on 98SE.
