Getting to Know the Windows Millennium Edition Operating
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 My Documents 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.
Resizing and moving windows allows you to rearrange the
desktop to suit your needs. Experiment with different sizes and
placements of windows to find the best arrangement for your
work.
At this point you have two programs open on the desktop. The
next lesson shows you how to close them.
