adding -windowed

Not to zquest, but to Zelda whatever version you want to play.
You rightclick on the icon on your desktop, you click on properties and you add "-windowed" to the target. Then save of course.😊

That tells me the target file does not exist. I use the dos prompt.

What version are we talking about?
And if you're not using the windows version, why do you want it windowed?

Here's what you do...create a shortcut to zelda-w.exe or zquest-w.exe (NOT zelda.exe or zquest.exe). Right click the shortcut, choose "properties". In the properties, make sure the "shortcut" tab is selected. You should see a field that says something like:

Target: "C:\ZCbeta\zelda-w.exe"

Now, add a space, and then -windowed after the quotes, like this:

Target: "C:\ZCbeta\zelda-w.exe" -windowed

Now, whenever you click on that shortcut it should come up windowed. If you want to run it full-screen, just use a different shortcut, or click on zelda-w.exe directly.

If you want to know all the command line options for ZC, check the pinned topic ZELDA and ZQUEST command line options.

I never knew about that! *smacks self on forehead* 😱

If you use the DOS Prompt, type ZQUEST-W -windowed

Replace ZQUEST-W with ZELDA-W for playing quests.
