Getting to Know the Windows ® XP Operating System
Lesson 7: Resizing, repositioning, and hiding windows
The operating system opens Windows Explorer, which
provides access to all your computer's resources. For
example, it lets you see all the files in a particular folder
on the computer's hard disk.
Sample Windows Explorer window
Notice the taskbar now has two buttons on it—one for
Paint and one for Windows Explorer.

Click the Paint button on the taskbar.
The operating system 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 alternately clicking each
button.
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.
