You can select that option in the Main Menu Video options by unchecking Run in full screen.

Or you can manually edit the prefs.ini in the \My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2 folder.

DisplayWidth=1152
DisplayHeight=864
ColorDepth=32
Fullscreen=0

Change Fullscreen=1 to Fullscreen=0

I think you need a destop resolution higher than 1024x768 in order to play windowed though. Don't quote me on this but I think I remember seeing this somewhere.
ObjectDock - Access shortcuts and frequently used applications from an animated dock.

No. But if you have a window corresponding to your desktop resolution, it will works like fullscreen while better handling ALT+TAB

I'm running windows at 1024*768, and have galciv2 running in windowed mode at 1024*740, so that I can see my start bar and clock.
Sadly I had to make the prefs.ini read only, so that it didnt keep getting reset to a 1024*768 resolution.
It seems to work fine, however.
