Task 4: Minimizing a Window

Click the Minimize button in the window you want to minimize.

The window disappears from the desktop, but a button for this window remains on the taskbar.

INTRODUCTION

You can reduce (minimize) a window so that it is still available as a taskbar button but is not displayed on the desktop. You might want to minimize a window to temporarily move it out of your way but keep it active for later use.

TIP

Redisplay the Window

To redisplay the minimized window, click the taskbar button. The window is opened onscreen.
