Lesson 7: Resizing, repositioning, and hiding windows

Using the taskbar

If you have applications open on the desktop, you can rearrange
them by pointing your cursor to the taskbar and clicking the
secondary button. You have these options:
Move windows
Size windows
Minimize all windows — display only the taskbar buttons
Maximize windows
Close windows
Choose your option depending on how you wish to set up your
desktop.

Minimizing and maximizing windows

1 To make the Windows Explorer window the active window,
click the My Documents button on the taskbar.
The Windows Explorer title bar is highlighted to show that
Windows Explorer is the active window.
2 Click the Minimize button at the top-right corner of the
Explorer window to hide the window.
Windows Explorer disappears from the desktop. However, it
is still open, as you can see from the taskbar.
HINT: Minimizing program windows is a good way to clean
up the desktop without actually closing programs.
3 Click the Maximize button in the top-right corner of the Paint
window.
