Every program window looks a little different because each has its own menus,
icons, and controls. Most windows include these items:

Window item

Description

The title bar is the horizontal bar at the top
of a window that shows the window title.

Clicking the minimize button reduces the
active window to a button on the taskbar.
Clicking the program button in the taskbar
opens the window again.

active window to fit the entire computer
display. Clicking the maximize button again
restores the window to its former size.
