I have read in some book (Charles Petzold?) that the whole screen can be 
reserved by requesting an hDC to a logical name, SCREEN, in the same way as
the printer device context is opened. I am not sure about this...

The same full screen device is also uses by Microsofts and others installation
programs. As you may have noticed you can often switch to other programs 
while the full screen installation program is running (i.e., using alt-tab).
