The deal is that... Can someone give me a simple .bat file or something that can do that? I can't be bothered trying to rip apart my JassNewGen folder right now. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

P.S (I know you can use Notepad but what code do you use etc.) Also Im running Vista Home Premium here as well

Simple, create a shortcut, add -window to the path.

"D:\Assorted Warcraft III Shit\Installation\Frozen Throne.exe" -windowed
Make sure you put right path for "Frozen Throne.exe"
@MindWorX: dang, you are faster than me D:

i exactly don't know why. Im doing everything right or else... i might have to set some more programs compatibility modes to xp then... which i just tried...

Any tips anyone?

Open the Run dialog box (Windows Key-R) and try:
C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe -window
change the path accordingly.

Have you opened the WC3 shorcut, added the -window and it doesn't work??

it seems that vista is sucking horribly...

@moyack: yep

@masda70: That way does work... now i just don't get why it doesn't work with shortcut...

EDIT: For some retarded reason after i tried running it in run... i changed the shortcut to minkwork's suggestion and now it works... VISTA == FAIL! Espec when you have two seperate programs to configure firewall

If you still want a shortcut, make a batch file in wc3 directory saying "start wc3.exe - windowed" and then make a shortcut of it.

Since the path contains folders/filenames longer than 8 characters you'll need to wrap quotes around it (except the -window switch)..

"C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe" -window
