Thanks, but a practical explanation will be more helpful.

Again, a practical explanation will be more helpful...

Full window or full screen is when the window of the program is all
over the screen except the start bar (or whatever the blue line in the
bottom of a windows xp called).
And why you refuse to use any program that insists on opening full screen ?
If it does then there must be a good reason for that...

I did wanted a full screen, but this is very helpful too :) .

Thanks allot .
