I was browsing through the forums yesterday.. and came across someone who was frustrated because they couldn't figure out how to get out of the game without exiting while playing in "full screen" mode. i couldn't reply then because I wasn't registered.. and between then and now.. I lost track of the post..

but.. anyway..

(I know lots of folks already know this.. but that person doesn't)

to get out of the game when in full screen mode without exiting the game.. hit alt + tab and it will take you to whatever else is open.. or if there's nothing else open.. you can just hit your lil windows key (bottom left of keyboard between ctrl and alt) and it will bring up your start menu to allow you to open something else.

hope this helps!
