Windows 98, Level One

The next menu is usually Edit. Under the Edit menu commands such as Undo, Cut, Copy, and Paste will be found.

The common menu structure is one of the features of Windows 98 that makes it easy to learn new software programs. In fact, the more programs you know, the easier it is to learn new programs.

Resizing A Window

An application window that is not maximized may also be resized by dragging the side or corner of the window.

For example, if you were to drag the bottom right corner of the Solitaire window toward the bottom right, the entire window will enlarge. If you were to drag that same corner toward the upper left, the window would shrink.

Moving A Window

To move a window on the screen, drag it's title bar, the colored bar at the top of the application window, to a new location on the screen. When you release the mouse button, the window will snap into place at the new location.

By judiciously sizing and moving windows, it's possible to display more than one application on the screen at the same time.

Multitasking Applications

If more than one program is running on your computer at the same time, you may use the <Alt-Tab> keystroke to switch from one program to another.

Or, you may click on the program's name on the taskbar at the bottom of the Windows 98 screen.
