Getting to Know the Windows
®
XP Operating System
Lesson 7: Resizing, repositioning, and hiding windows
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.4.1
Sample Windows Explorer window
Notice the taskbar now has two buttons on it—one for
Paint and one for Windows
®
Explorer.
3 To re-display the Paint program, click the Paint button
on the taskbar.
The operating system re-displays the Paint program.
The operating system places the active window on top of
other windows on the desktop unless you have selected a
different display option. You can move back and forth
between the two programs by clicking each button on the
taskbar alternately.
Lesson 7: Resizing, repositioning, and hiding
windows
If you have followed the lessons in this chapter, you now
have a screen with several program windows open. You can
organize these windows by resizing and repositioning
windows so that you can see more than one of them at a time.
You can also hide windows by removing them from the
desktop without actually closing your document or program.
