Managing Multiple Windows with the Taskbar

The taskbar's pop-up menu includes menu options that help you work with more than one open window at the same time. These menu options offer three ways of arranging your open windows so that they are more manageable. If you open two or more windows at once, all those windows can be difficult to manage individually. You could maximize each window and display only one window at a time. There are many reasons, however, to keep more than one window open and displayed at the same time, such as when you want to copy data from one window to another. (Chapter 8, “Navigating with Windows Explorer,” explains how to copy between windows.)

Tiling Windows

When you want to see more than one open window at a time, the taskbar properties menu gives you tools that provide quick management of those windows so that you do not have to size and place each window individually. Figure 6.6 shows how too many windows open at the same time can be confusing.
