Key points

Easy multi-tasking.
Can usually be modified to work as a borderless fullscreen windowed mode.
Often toggled with Alt+ Enter but for many games it has to be enabled manually.
Some games do not have a native windowed mode. See Forced windowed mode.

Forced windowed mode

Great for older games which have no native windowed mode support such as the Black & White series.

3DAnalyze

3DAnalyze has many features alongside a forced windowed mode.
Instructions

D3DLookingGlass

D3DWindower

Allows to have and use multiple configurations at once.
On certain cases it might even fix performance issues allowing older games to get past 30 FPS and such.
Might appear complicated to use at first.
D3DWindower has to be run with admin rights on. See Windows compatibility mode.
Instructions

DxWnd

Great for Win95/98 like games such as StarCraft, Diablo and Quake. Many presets are already included.
DxWnd will automatically apply any configurations while open, by simply opening the desired game.
Slightly unintuitive interface, the in-game performance might get worse.


Mouse locking

Certain games do not lock the mouse inside the window.
