Playing games in windows mode*

Right Click frozenthrone.exe shortcut and press properties
Under "start in" textbox press spacebar and add -w OR -window
E.g "C:\Program Files\Warcraft3\wc3.exe -w"
only works for some games
However when u play dota under windows mode theres a tedency to right click on the desktop, to solve that. Follow the below guide to disable right click of desktop
1.Go to start menu, press run and type in regedit.
2.Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer
3.Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, called "NoViewContextMenu"
Value Name: NoViewContextMenu
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: 1(0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)
4.Exit your registry; you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect
*to reverse the effect simply change the NoViewContextMenu value to 0.
Following the above steps dont allows you to right click any documents too.
It might actually be a gd way to hide your icons away from your sibling too.
Simply follow this additional steps.
1)Right click anywhere on desktop
2)point to "arrange icons by"
3)unticked the "show desktop icons"
This is one of the way where lanshop ownself hide icons/programs from public usage.Since editing of registry to remove the "disable right click function" require
adminstrator rights.
Stay tuned for more system tweaks:)
