Lesson 8: Closing programs
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. 
To close the programs:
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.
