Toggle?

Okay, normally one is supposed to be able to toggle between two programs etc, by using Alt-Enter. But, this isn't working with any of my Adventure games.

What does one do to make the game small, so one can access the desktop?

Don't you mean Alt+Tab, not Alt+Enter?

Yup, should be Alt-Tab. Some games don't allow it though.

As a last resort, you can do ctrl-alt-delete, and when the Task Manager comes up you can click out of it and reach your desktop.

Alt-Enter, is the usual bind for swapping a game between Windowed and Full-Screen modes.

That was one thing I didn't like about Shadow of Destiny; you couldn't Alt-Tab out of it.
