Minimizing PC PES4?

[Zygalski]

I can't minimise PC PES4 when it is running in Full Screen mode and I've tried a lot of things such as Alt+Tab, Win+D so I'm forced to play most matches in windowed mode which I don't like.

There is a very nice program called ETmin for Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory which minimizes that game and there are some pages that suggest to me that you can make it apply to other games too, if you know about Classes and jazzy programming stuff like that. Can anyone help?

Check out
http://www.gonbon.com/etmin/
and the section:

Supported Games

Right now, the two default supported games are RTCW: Enemy Territory and Soldier of Fortune 2. To add support for another game, you first need to find out the window class, then create a file called "check.txt" in the same directory as the minimizer program. For example, the default internal check list is:

SoF2 MPEnemy Territory
Make sure that the space between the window classes is a tab.

Download ETmind by clicking on the Binary link on that page.

I'm going to email the maker of that minimizer to see if he/they can help and I'm wondering if anyone would like to beat them to it and become a hero?

If so, please use the info at that link and make it applicable to PC PES4. Many pesinsight points will be awarded to anyone who can make this program work for PES4.
Any other suggestions welcome. Thanks.

ctrl + esc.... try that one. it doesnt exactly minimize programs but it always seems to get me back to the desktop when im playing games

Thanks P but that doesn't work for me. It shows one button from the taskbar and causes it to flicker strobe-light-like through the game.

Yeah that works at making the game into windowed mode which can be minimised. Thanks.

Big bonus points still awaiting anyone who can make the minimising program.

I found that sometimes I could alt-tab out of PES4; sometimes I couldn't. Then I discovered that when the alt-tabbing didn't work, I could get it to work again by clicking the left mouse button.
