Getting to Know Windows XP
Lesson 8: Closing programs
Resizing and moving windows allows you to rearrange the
desktop to suit your needs. Experiment with different sizes and
placements of windows to find the best arrangement for your
work.
At this point you have two programs open on the desktop. The
next lesson shows you how to close them.
Lesson 8: Closing programs
Once you are finished working with a document or program, it is a
good idea to close it. While you can run several programs at the
same time, having a large number of programs and documents
open simultaneously can slow down your computer.
This lesson teaches you how to close the programs you opened
earlier in this tutorial.
1 Click the Close button at the top-right of the Explorer
window.
That is all there is to it. Windows Explorer closes, removing
the Explorer button from the taskbar as well.
2 Close Paint and the My Computer window (assuming it is still
open) by clicking the Close buttons for each program.
HINT: Always save your work before you close a program.
