Very good tip, thank you very much!! Let's see if it works as well on win7...:)
Unfortunately not good for me cause i am playing in 1024 x 768 and when i do maximize it stretches the image on horizontal axis. It gives me the buttons above (minimize/maximize/close) but i don't have access to the task bar at all. All the above have been tested in window mode of course (not full screen). Maybe you are using a monitor with 16:10 aspect ratio?
