Lesson 8: Closing programs
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.4.0
6
Repeat step
 to change the size and position of 
Windows
®
 Explorer, placing it on the right side of the 
desktop.
Now that the windows are side by side, you can see how 
you could refer to one window while working in the 
other.
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. 
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.
