    Is there a program that will make any game turn into a window mode:)

    Find the shortcut for the computer game you want to play in windowed mode instead of full screen.
    Right click on the shortcut, select Properties.
    In the Target field add: -window at the end.
    Click OK.

    Not ALL games can be played in windowed mode, and if you want to play in fullscreen again just take out the -window you added.

    Don't think there is one since that method is simple enough, you could just copy the shortcut to make another and then leave one with the -window and one without. So then you have a fullscreen game and windowed game in the start menu ;)

    Ah- simple mistake, my bad. It's actually space THEN -window e.g. "E:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires II\age2_x1\age2_x1.exe" -window
    Hope that solved your prob.
    Edit--
    Another command you can add instead is fullscreen=false (remember the space)
