Quick Question

I was just wondering if there was a command similar to "control-alt-delete" on mac. Say I was playing a game, just a command that minimizes the game, but doesnt exit it out.

    Cmd-M minimizes the current window.



    Full screen games may or may not observe this, but generally Esc gets you from full-screen to windowed, if at all possible. Also, Cmd-H for Hide generally works. You'll need to pause it first, of course. You can get back to it by clicking on the app's icon in the Dock.

    that's not what ctrl-alt-delete does on XP.

    i meant control alt escape...brain freeze, although wouldnt it just exit the game and get you on the desktop as well?

    if you're playing a game that takes over the screen on XP (such as the sims 2 or unreal tournament) just hit your windows button and it will take you to the desktop without exiting the game.
