    I guess you want to have RTW in window smaller then screen resolution?

    Set up RTW resolution to smaller dimension then your monitor native resolution ( i assume you have LCD ).
    This should give you RTW in window (so you also see desktop ).
    And of course use -ne option. Without it your monitor resolution will adjust to RTW resolution.

    With "-ne" you can switch between the open windows. So you need another window open in the background, for example wordpad, to switch to with "alt+tab". At least for me "ne" isn't working as long as EB is the only programm running.

    I really wanted to use '- ne' so I can test the game more with Redmeth's 'Autoclick' program - but it seems that on Vista it just blocks the game so I have to do it manual again

    See the remarks about window-size. Note that you do not need -ne to switch between windows ... Just having another program running on the background will do you just fine for that purpose, regardless of the -ne switch.

    You don't need any other program running either. Alt + Tab and RTW is minimised. (You switch to your Desktop.)

    Not for me: The taskline appears for a blink and then I am back on RTW. Only with other windows open I am switched to these (Windows XP).
