i know its a bit late being done but i thought it would be great if this was stickied. Now anyone using vista will find it easier to see how its done |

your on windows xp and not vista
just create a shortcut of the fm.exe and then do the same as the vista technique |

if your resolution is above 1024x768 u don't need the small screen windowed mode, u can just untick the full screen option in fm preferences |
