During the download process, an incremental counter
reports the number of bytes of information that have been
transferred.
This continuously updating of the counter requires system
processor time to update the screen every few seconds. If
the program window were minimized, the counter would
not be displayed, thereby saving a few processor cycles
by not continuously updating the video screen.
Maximize
Maximize is the opposite of Minimize. If the application
program that you're using would be easier to see in a full-
screen mode, the window may be maximized—to the full
size of the video display.
Once a window has been maximized, the middle com-
mand button in the upper right corner of the screen will
change to a "Restore" button. A maximized window may
be "restored" to it's original size.
Close
Any Windows application may be shut down by clicking
the Close command button.
Using the Close button has the same effect using the
menu to by clicking File | Exit.
Menu Commands
As you continue to use Windows 98 and additional
Windows applications, you will notice that most applica-
tion programs share common menus.
For example, the first menu command is almost always
File, and under this menu commands such as Open, Save,
Close, and Exit can be found.
Solitaire
substitutes the
"Game" menu
option for the
"File" option that
is used in most
Windows
applications.
