Best Answer

For all games that can run in windowed mode (including Half Life 1), you can also consider using fullscreenizer, an open source tool that forces a chosen window to become fullscreen borderless.

This is especially useful for games that do support windowed mode but don't support fullscreen borderless. But as Joachim pointed out, this specific game does. I personally use it for certain indie titles.

How can I play all my games in borderless windowed?

In addition to automatically setting your games borderless you can also trigger this action by pressing F4 while ingame.

How do you make games run as borderless windowed less than 1 minute?

Run the app and start up a game. Make sure you run the game in windowed mode before adding it to the app. Your game should now be in windowed border-less mode, your settings are saved so the app will recognize your game whenever it runs in windowed mode again and automatically set it to be borderless.
