Getting to Know the Desktop
Lesson 6: Resizing and Reshaping Windows
To learn how to use these buttons, follow these steps:
1 To make the Windows Explorer window the active win-
dow, click the Windows Explorer button on the taskbar.
Windows displays Windows Explorer on top of other win-
dows on the desktop and highlights the menu bar to show it is
the active window.
2 To remove Windows Explorer from the desktop, click the
minimize button at the top right of the Explorer window.
Windows Explorer disappears from the desktop. However, it's
still open, as you can see from the taskbar.
Minimizing program windows is a good way to clean up the
desktop without actually closing programs.
3 Minimize the Paint window by clicking the minimize
button.
The Paint window disappears.
4 Open the Paint window by clicking the Paint button on the
taskbar.
Windows 95 opens the Paint window.
5 To resize the Paint window to fill the entire screen, click
the maximize button at the top right of the Paint window.
Paint expands to the full size of the desktop, except for the
taskbar. Notice that where the maximize button was, a new
button has appeared. It's now called the restore button.
Maximizing a program is a good way to work when you're
only using that program and don't want any other distractions
on the desktop.
