[h=3]Windows XP Bars and Buttons Windows XP got its name from one its most basic elements: the window. The rectangular work area for a program, file, or other task is called a window.

The Minimize button is among the three buttons at the right end of the title bar. This button has a small dash (or minus sign). The Minimize button shrinks the window and places it on the taskbar while leaving the program running.
The Maximize button, which looks like a small window, is used to enlarge a window to cover the entire desktop.
After a window is maximized, the Maximize button changes to the Restore button. It looks like two windows near one another. If you click the Restore button, the maximized window shrinks to its previous size (the size it was before you maximized it).

[h=3]Navigate the Control Panel If you're used to a previous version of Windows, you'll notice that the Control Panel in Windows XP looks very different.
The Windows XP Control Panel is divided into Categories. If you click a Category, the window presents a List of Tasks and related Control Panel icons.
Note: Task and Control Panel icons perform basically the same functions. For example, notice that you can "Choose a screen saver" in the Pick a Task list. Clicking this link opens the Display Properties dialog box. However, if you were to choose the Display icon, the Display Properties dialog box opens.
If you look at the left side of the window, you'll notice that the See Also and Troubleshooters dialog boxes provides several more related options.
The new Control Panel design provides multiple ways to do something, thereby making it more user-friendly. However, the new Control Panel design doesn't provide you with access to every available Control Panel tool - it only provides you access to the most commonly used tools.
To access ALL of your Control Panel tools, you must switch to Classic View.
[h=5]To switch to Classic View:
Use the menubar and toolbar buttons to navigate and further explore Control Panel options.
