Getting Comfortable with Windows 95
Lesson 6: Resizing and Reshaping Windows
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 cause 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 the maximize button has changed. 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.
6 To return Paint to its previous size, click the restore but-
ton.
The Paint window returns to its previous size and location.
Again, notice how the restore button has changed back into the
maximize button.
Now assume you want to be able to see both the Paint window
and the Windows Explorer window at the same time.
7 To open the Windows Explorer window, click the Win-
dows Explorer button on the taskbar.
If the Windows Explorer is maximized (covering the entire
screen), click the restore button to reduce the size of the win-
dow.
8 Move the pointer to the right side of the Paint window.
The pointer changes to a two-headed arrow.
