Possible to run DayZ in windowed mode AND resize it?

[opjohnny 2]

I'm trying to figure out how to set DayZ to windowed mode in a resolution I want, or have the ability to resize the window.

So far it seems like the only way to run my non-steam install in windowed mode is to choose windowed from the game's resolution list which makes it a small little box on my 22" widescreen and doesn't offer me the ability to click and drag the edges to resize it myself. All the solutions I found for Arma 2 or Arma2 OA don't seem to work with DayZ.

So is there a way to run this game in a window resolution of my choosing, or make it so I can drag the edges to resize the window? I want to be able to run it as a 1440x900 window on my main screen like I do with all my other games.

If it matters I purchased the combo pack from Amazon and use the SIX updater to launch DayZ.

yep, just run game and press alt+enter on selection server screen

It seems after I click "ok" on the video options screen the game has to restart but did it in fullscreen even though I had applied windowed mode. I then reset it to windowed mode and clicked "ok" again but this time it gave me a resizable window and didn't make me reboot.

After doing something else in another area of the main menu I had to restart the game again, and it went right back to fullscreen.

Is there any way I can have a shortcut for DayZ that I can add target commands to, or a .cfg I can edit, so the game is forced to start in windowed 1440x900 mode?

For some reason whenever I start a game in fullscreen mode it screws with stuff on both of my desktops, including my rainmeter theme which is a HUGE pain to re-arrange/align.

You can put -window in the parameters of the shotcurt you use. Not sure if you can resize it anyway.
