Minimize, Maximize, Restore Down, and Close

1. Suppose you have a window open.  In this picture the www.abcews.comm is  maximized or it takes the maximum amount of the screen.

2. Minimize or the button on the left will make it disappear into the task bar.  It is not the same as closing.

3. Restore Down or the middle button will allow you to resize the window. Restore Down means to make it a little smaller.

4. When you are done; click on the X to close the window.

Here is a second way to use these buttons.  Not everyone is aware of them, however they are useful.

5. Locate the window at the bottom of your screen.  Mine is abcnews.com 

6. Right click on the window you want to change. 

7. This shows you that you can maximize, minimize, or close the window.

8. Check out the little shortcut next to close.
