DxWnd lets you run many applications that default to fullscreen in a window, ideal for games. The program is a Win32 “hooker” program that intercepts and alters the behavior of window messages and APIs. It picks up events and injects code into the configured tasks to run fullscreen programs in a windowed environment while maintaining expected behavior.
