How do you get the Sims 2 for PC into window mode instead of fullscreen?

when i play the Sims 2 for PC, it goes fullscreen when i play, and if i need to do something i have to exit the entire game then restart it when i want to play again.

i know that i can minimize it, but when i minimize it and then bring it back up, the screen looks all weird and i have to still quit to play it normal.

there is a cheat i think to get the game into window mode, its something like -w , but i don't know where to put that in.

any help?

    You simply go to the shortcut on your desktop, and right click. Select "Properties" and add " -w" to "Target".

    NOTE: there is a space before the "-w"
