Can you make the sims 2 a minimized window?

Try holding down ctrl & alt then pressing tab.

Ok this is how to make it a window... (much easier to minimize)

go to the icon that you use to play the sims 2 (desktop) and then right click it properties and in the end of target type -w. Should look like this: "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Open For Buisness\TSbin\Sims2EP3.exe'' -w

Make sure there is a space between the " and the -w
