Application Of Windows Desktop Functions
In our daily work, we will frequently work with the Windows Desktop. So if we can make good use of the Desktop functions, not only will our working efficiency be improved, but also the complicated computer operation procedures will become simple for us. Now let's see some useful Window Desktop function examples below.
Arraying Application Windows on the Desktop
When working with our computers, we usually open a number of applications at the same time. However, we will find the desktop scattered with a number of open application windows. Even worse, the windows may overlap one another. If we need to switch among them to complete our jobs, it will be a big headache to locate our target windows to work with.
To get rid of such a mess, we can array these windows on the desktop, say, side by side. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Move the cursor to a blank spot on the taskbar and click the right button of the mouse.
2. Choose "Cascade Windows", "Tile Windows Horizontally" or "Tile Windows Vertically" option from the Shortcut menu that pops up.
Similarly, the taskbar will also be cluttered up with many task icons after having worked for a while. (See below)
1. Move the cursor over the top edge of the taskbar until it turns into a up-down arrow "
2. Hold the left button of the mouse and drag the border of the taskbar up and down and release the button when all the task icons are shown.
3. You can see all the icons now. (See below)
