No. It's impossible. There are no tutorials on it and it's really hard apparantly.
For anybody still wondering where FTD has gone, here it is.

oh, thats easy!
if you have halo ce, open the folder!
scroll all the way down and you should see a program that reads "windowed mode". :D
copy that, then open halp pc ver folder!
paste!
then right click it and edit!
change "Haloce.exe" to "halo.exe"
!! or maybe halopc.exe....
:D

Ok, your a PC kid now right?

Create a shortcut, right click it, hit properties, at the END of the target, AFTER the ", type { -window } without the {}'s

QUETZALCOATL didn't even help, he just pointed out that i didn't have CE and that he didn't know that theres an actual halo CE section in these forums.
