Managing Windows For First Time
User's
Repositioning
Windows:
There will be times
when you have several windows open at one time. Repositioning a window to a
different location on the screen can allow you to see more information. It also
makes working with documents easier. All windows have a title bar. You move a
window by clicking the mouse on the title bar and dragging it to a new location.
You can also make a window active simply clicking on the title bar.
Each title bar has
three buttons on the right side.
· The button on the
left reduces or minimizes the window to a button on the task bar.
· The button in the
center enlarges or maximizes a window to the full size of the desktop.
· The button on the
right closes or exists the program.
Resizing
Windows:
To make a window size
larger or smaller, move the mouse pointer to any one of the four sides of the
window. The pointer will change to a double arrow. Drag the border to enlarge or
reduce the size of the window.
Switching Between
Windows:
Using windows95/98 you
can switch between windows. For example, you could open a graphics program and a
Word processing program at the same time. Graphics created in the graphics
program can be copied and pasted in the Word Processing document simply by
switching between the two programs. Using the Start menu, open two of your
favorite programs. After each program is open, their names will appear in the
Taskbar. The last program opened appears in the forefront. On the taskbar, click
the name of the program you want to activate and it will move to the front. You
can open as many programs as you like and switch between them using the Task bar
Accessing the Desktop
Using Windows95/98,
there will be times that you want to start a program that is on your desktop
without going to the bother of closing all open windows so that you can find it.
A useful trick is to Right-Click on some unused portion of the taskbar and
choose "Minimize All Windows". All open windows will be minimized. The
windows can be replaced by again Right-Clicking on an unused portion of the
taskbar and choosing "Undo Minimize All".
