Manipulating Windows
While Windows is the name of the operating system
used on most PCs, the term "window" was first used many years
ago. Apple Computer Company has been using an operating system in which
programs are run within a window since around 1984 but programmers had
developed the "window" before Apple introduced the concept. The basic
idea is that each operation on the computer works within its own window
allowing you to switch between them at any time. You may have a window open
showing you what is in the Recycle Bin and also a window in which you are
running a word processor. A window is the rectangular box that will appear on
the screen when you double click on an icon or start a program. The menus and
three buttons across the top provide control. In some windows you will see
Scroll bars on the side and bottom to allow you to see everything that is
inside the window.
To move
through the many folders on your hard disk or on a floppy you need to know how
to navigate through windows. To start, you need to learn to open a window. Do
this:
Note: Throughout this chapter we will be working with the My Computer
window.
-
Start the computer and wait until you see the
Desktop.
-
Move
the pointer over the My Computer icon.
-
Press
the left mouse button twice quickly.
-
You should now see a window
open up on the Desktop.

Shrinking
windows to the Taskbar
If you want to
clear the Desktop of windows and you don't wish to close them, you can shrink
them down onto the Taskbar
Do this:
1. Move your pointer to the upper right corner of the
window you wish to shrink.
2. Click on the first button in the row of three.
3.
The window will now
shrink onto the Taskbar.
To
open the window after shrinking it onto the Taskbar
To reopen a window so that you can
continue working within it, you need to expand it from the Taskbar. You can't
work within a minimized window... you can't see it!
Do this:
1. Move
the pointer to the Taskbar.
2. Move
it over the name of the window you wish to open (My Computer).
3. Click
the left mouse button once.
4.
The window will open up on the top of the
Desktop.
Moving
a window around the Desktop
When working
on your Desktop, you may sometimes find that the window you have opened is
blocking your view of another window. As you may need both of these, you might
like to move one over a little. This will allow you to get to the windows
behind or to copy from one window to another without switching back and forth.
Take the
following Steps:
1. Move the pointer to the Title Bar inside the My
Computer window.
2. Click and hold the left mouse button.
3. Drag the pointer across the Desktop.
4. The window will move with the pointer.
5. Release the left mouse button and the window will
stay in this spot.
Scrolling
around in a window
When you open
a window, it is sometimes too small to display all of the icons inside it. To
allow you to view all of these, the window comes with Scroll Bars. Do this:
1. Move the pointer over the left/right or up/down
arrow found on the Scroll Bars.
2. Click and hold down the left mouse button.
3. When the window has moved to what you want to see,
release the left mouse button.

Arranging Windows
When you create or open a document in Word, the document opens in a
separate window. You can quickly switch from one document to another by
clicking the document's button on the taskbar or by pressing
ALT+TAB. You can also
view several open Word documents at the same time by using the Arrange All
command (Window menu).
Maximizing a Window
When working
within a program window, you may wish to enlarge the window so that it takes up
the whole screen. This will allow you to work more easily, and to move around
quickly within the program. If you need to access something else on the Desktop
you can always shrink the window to the Taskbar. Do this:
1. Move your pointer to the upper right corner of the
window/program you wish to enlarge to full screen.
2. Click on the second button in the group
3.
The window
will now enlarge to fill the whole screen.
