Introduction to Microsoft Windows operating systems: xp and 7

Resizing Windows When you bring the mouse pointer to the edge of a window it will change to one of the resize arrows. When the pointer changes to one of these arrows, you can click and drag to change the size of the window. The horizontal and vertical arrows will only resize it in one direction at a time. The diagonal arrows will change both the height and the width of the window. Switch between windows   When you are multitasking (that is when you have two or more windows open), the window that appears in the front is the active window. There are a few different ways to switch the active or foreground window. If both windows can be seen at the same time click on the window that is partially covered to bring it to the foreground. If you can’t see the background window, find its title in the task bar and click on it. Windows XP Download 4,83 Mb.
