is it possible to stop a db exe from switching to fullscreen then to my defined winowed mode, is there now way of altering the exe to make it load in windowed mode automatically?

Assuming you use DBClassic:
You need to have a "setup.ini" file in the same folder where your executable is located. This setup file must contain these lines:
[SETTINGS]
windowmode=1

This will prevent the executable from switching to fullscreen on start up.

Hmmm...I still get a jump to full screen with the above method but it's at least faster getting to windowed mode. Full screen is just a quick flash and then the window appears.

Well, it will spread the initial window across the whole screen but it won't change the resolution or colour settings.
