How do you minamize

[Gripper]

a game when you're playing it,I know you can press the windows key on some games but is there a shortcut you can use(genarally) on others? :shifty:

[mike45450]

Alt+tab usually works, or i think Windows+M is minimize all programs or something

[Peerzy]

Alt + F4, try it and it will minimize anything.

[maebach]

ctrl + esc or alt + tab

[Tikibonbon]

You need a shortcut for pressing a single key? Geez, gamers sure are getting lazy these days! :lol:

I use ALT+F4, sometimes it causes a crash, but keep trying it normally works fine after 3-4 trys ;)

@Canuk & Peerzy :frusty:
alt f4 kills the program thats up :frusty: - you dont want to use this
try it on firefox now :naughty: :angry: :frusty:

alt tab gives you an option to switch to whatever else is running (so you have to have atleast another prog up eg-explorer/a folder/notepad) + game
although alt tab can crash your pc during some games

What I was after was something to minamize the game I was playing,to be able to go onto the web for the missus,to look up what ever has taken her fancy at that moment,she doesn,t understand that just saving the game and starting it up again can be a pain in the arse(like diablo 2 and dungeon siege 2,where it restarts you back in town)I,ll give these suggestions a try,cheers.

pause the game, then alt tab firefox etc

I was wondering when someone was going to mention that Alt+F4 closes the program.
