6.2. Exiting ProgramsWhen you exit, or quit, an application, the memory it was using is returned to the Windows pot for use by other programs. If you use a particular program several times a day, like a word processor or calendar, you'll save time in the long run by keeping it open all day long. (You can always minimize its window to get it out of the way when you're not using it.) But if you're done using a program for the day, exit it, especially if it's a memory-hungry one like, say, Photoshop. Do so using one of these techniques:
After offering you a chance to save any changes you've made to your document, the program's windows, menus , and toolbars disappear, and you "fall down a layer" into the window that was behind it. |
