How To Play Warcraft In Window Mode
2009 November 20
Okay, I’ve been asked this I think 3 or 4 times by my friends, who want to play warcraft/Dota in their universities when they are bored to hell in classes. I don’t approve this but hey I’m not a saint =) – I love Warcraft myself. Anyway, getting to the point. It’s very easy to play Warcraft 3 in window mode. Here’s what you should do.
- Right click on Warcraft 3 shortcut
- Click Properties
- You’ll see “Target” : “D:\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe” (for example)
- Add -window after that
- Click Apply
Here’s a screenshot to give you a better idea.

And that’s it. Enjoy playing Warcraft3 in window mode.
this way is easy except you cant relaly play dota or anything on it, the mouse scroll dosent work off the screen as you try to mouse scroll to another location ur mouse just moves out of the window, you need a program to make the window lock in the mouse, or else ull be scrolling with your keypad
Well, you are right. Though when I’m working and having a crave for a TD, I switch to window mode
