CASCADE ALL OPEN WINDOWS

If you're like me, you often have several programs open at once, and thus have several windows open on your Desktop at the same time. This can cause your Desktop to become so cluttered up that you have difficulty finding one of the windows you want to get back to (particularly if it is not a program window, which would be minimized to the Taskbar.) You could do the time-consuming task of closing or minimizing any windows you can see until you find the one you're looking for, or you can do the following: right click on any empty part of the Taskbar and then click on the Cascade option from the context menu that pops up. Windows will now bring all your windows up in a neat pile, one behind the other, with a small part of each window visible behind the topmost one. That is what "cascading" windows means. So, since the title bar of each window can be read, it is easy to click on the title bar of the window you want, which brings it on top of the others, where you can work with it.
