Moving a Window

When you start working with multiple windows, moving a window becomes as important as resizing one. For example, you may need to move one or more windows to make room for other work on your desktop, or you may need to move one window to see another window's contents. You can move a window easily with the mouse.

To move a window, point at the window's title bar, press and hold the left mouse button, and drag the window to its new location. Remember that you can minimize windows, keeping them out of your way until you need them again, at which time you maximize the window.
