I don't know if you want to do this, but if you set the game to run in a window, you should be able to minimise it when you want.

It sounds like your problem might be system specific to a certain extent. In fullscreen mode, when I alt-tab away from GZDoom, the game pauses (and shows the titlepic) and remains full screen, but I can do other things with my computer; I just have GZDoom behaving a little bit like a wallpaper in the background.

The Win key doesn't autohide programs but it should bring up the Windows' start menu.

What works for me is: in full screen press alt+enter and GZDoom should reduce to a window on the desktop.

!! - At this point the mouse pointer pops out of it when I press pause, lower the console or go to the menu by pressing esc. After the game is in pause and I can resize the GZDoom window by dragging and dropping it's window edges or minimize it to the taskbar.

To go back I click the GZDoom window, press alt+enter again and return to the game from the pause, console or menu.
