I switch from full screen to windowed quite often, its annoying to have to load the char screen then switch to one then quit and reload. Is there a - command i can add to my DAOC shortcut that starts it in windowed mode, and like another command i can start it in fullscreen? Most games can do this, you add like -w1 or something after the shortcuts target path. Thanks

You may be able to write a script to change the value of the "windowed" property in your user.dat file before launching.

Something like: "sed -ie 's/windowed=[0-1]/windowed=1' user.dat ; wine login.dll", but for Windows

windows doesnt offer the same functionality for command lines, or for editing text via command line arguements

I figured out how to do it. if anyone would like to know. you go to C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Application Data\Electronic Arts\Dark Age of Camelot\LotM\User.dat make that user.dat a shortcut put it on your desktop and anytime you wanna start in windowed or full before you launch daoc look for the line windowed= and put 0 for fullscreen or 1 for windowed. Open the user.dat with notepad and put 1 or 0 after windowed= and save.
