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 window title.
	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.
