    As the title implies, I'm looking for a software, command, script, anything you know that would stop/prevent games or any other software open in fullscreen by default.

    And I do mean "before the first launch". Heck there are even games that don't have any kind of windowed mode avaible. Not to mention this default-fullscreen messes up my dual-screen setup by hogging both monitors (aka, turining them black) and also messes the desktop resolution of mine.

    I have searched internet for this answer via dozens of forums, help services. And used more than 5 search engines (yes, even "ask-jeeves"). And this has been a issue for several years now.

    Please, do not suggest "-w", -"window" or any other similiar commands or other "generic" solutions I keep finding "everywhere" (like using alt+return/"enter"). Most of those don't work to begin with, especially when you have separated launchers. And same goes with Steam's launching commands.
    I need a totally independent solution to prevent "any kind" full screen, even if I'd prompt within in game (in other words, the game should stay ina a separate window, even if set the option to "full screen"). Heck, now that I mentioned this, maybe there could a solution to "emulate" a separte monitor within monitor (in before "Xzibit's Yo Dawg").

    I know that there are more tech savy people here, so it's possible one of you (even one of you UberEnt-Devs) would know a solution this nuisance that still plaques during 2012. I fairly certain there's solution, especially considering what all sorts of thing you can nowadays on Windows 7 (visual and audio-wise at least, not to mention some softwares like Xsplit have some special functions working only on Windows 7).

    ...No, shutting my computer is no solution; I need to make moneys, so I can more moneys to pay for more moneys to use that moneys to get that more moneys to moneys themselves to pay my rent and other things that needs moneys.

    -----------------------

    In an "exchange", here's a link to "Cursor Lock", a neat little application for players like myself, who are being plaqued by "escaping cursors" on multi-monitor setups. I know some people over SMNC Community Mumble Channel needed this software, so no reason not to share it for rest of forum-people.

    Could you perhaps elaborate more? That's a quite broad answer.

    Well, I've beena little bit more lucky with my searches. And I thought it would be nice to share the info. Haven't tested all of them yet. But I am certain I'll eventually find to universal solution for all my games I keep playing.

    Boarderless window is a checkbox in options. :/ I've had it on since the moment I started playing.
