124 Getting to Know Windows XP
Lesson 7: Resizing, repositioning, and hiding windows
The Paint window expands to fill the screen, hiding
everything except the taskbar. Notice that the Maximize
button has changed. It is now called the Restore button.
HINT: Maximizing a program is a good way to work when
you are only using that program and do not want any
distractions on the screen.
Resizing and moving windows
1 Click the Restore button in the top-right corner of the Paint
window.
Paint returns to its previous size and location. Notice that the
Restore button has changed back into the Maximize button.
For the next few steps assume that you want to be able to see
both Paint and Windows Explorer at the same time.
2 Move the pointer to the right-hand edge of the Paint window.
The pointer changes to a two-headed arrow.
3 Click and drag the edge of the window until it takes up just
less than half the width of the desktop.
4 Click the title bar of the Paint window and drag it to the left
side of the desktop.
You can move any window by clicking its title bar and
dragging it.
5 Click the My Documents button on the taskbar.
6 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to change the size and position of
Windows Explorer, placing it on the right side of the desktop.
Now that the windows are side by side, you can see how you
could refer to one window while working in the other.
