Drag and drop procedure To move an item on the screen:
1.Position the cursor on the icon or on the title bar of the window you want to move.
2.Hold down the left mouse button while moving the cursor to the desired location. The window or icon moves with the cursor as long as you hold down the mouse button.
3.Release the mouse button when the item is where you want it. This procedure is often referred to as “drag and drop.”

Reducing to an icon: If a window has a button containing an inverted triangle in the upper left corner on the title bar, you can reduce the window to an icon on the screen background by
Note: Reducing a window to an icon does not in any way interfere with any ongoing process that was initiated from that window. It does not close the window.
