Every program window looks a little different because each has its own menus,
icons, and controls. Most windows include these items:
Window item
Description
The title bar is the horizontal bar at the top of
a window that shows the name of the program.
Clicking the minimize button reduces the active
window to a button on the taskbar. Clicking the
program button in the taskbar opens the
window again.
Clicking the maximize button expands the
active window to fit the entire screen. Clicking
the maximize button again restores the window
to its former size.
Clicking the close button closes the active
window or program.
Clicking an item on the menu bar starts an
action such as Print or Save.
