    Look in the video options for a run in window option

    There are no wrong questions, but there are wrong places to ask them. Try posting in the Chat thread next time instead of making a new thread.

    To answer the question though, windowed mode is what you are looking for.

    I'm curious, I occasionally run in windowed mode on my pc. (but usually fullscreen because if I want to go to an app I can alt-tab)

    On my Macbook Pro I usually run windowed (max size) so I can switch between spaces easilly to use Firefox or other apps whilst playing WoW. If I want to quickly switch between fullscreen and windowed on my Macbook Pro it's Cmd+M.

    Is there a key combo to do the same on the pc without having to go to the video options? Alt+Enter does nothing.

    EDIT: Also, yeah.. this needs moving to help.

    Use ALT+TAB to swap between windows in Windows.

    he means swapping between windowed and full screen in WoW on a PC without having to go into the menu

    if you read the post he actually mentions alt tabbing
