Any way to minimize Doom 3?

[Regulus]

It's really bothering me that I can't just alt-tab out of D3 when I need to check something on the desktop or read off a console command. Has anyone figured out a way to minimize D3 to the desktop? Alt-tab and windows key+D do nothing..

so windows key doesn't bring up the start menu?!?!?! AWESOME!

it alt tabs out for me, but it stays in whatever resolution its in and doesnt give back the mouse. I wish games would be friendly to alt-tabbing.

If it doesn't give you the moust just pres CTRL+ALT+DEL and the manager will come up. Should give you back a mouse, then just close taskmanager.

Try ALT + Enter and if that gets it out of fullscreen. Then hit ~ to bring up the console and it should free your mouse

Maybe if all reviewers say it's a bug ridden piece of shit and Half-Life 2 gets released tomorrow?
