MAXIMIZED AND RESTORED WINDOWS
As you probably know, the middle icon of the three at the
top left of most windows varies between a single square,
and one square behind another. When it is a single
square, its meaning is "maximize", or set the
windows to cover your entire screen (excluding the
taskbar, if you don't have it in auto-hide state.)
Maximize the window, then you see the two overlapping
squares, and that means "restore", which is to
reduce the maximized window to whatever smaller size it
was before being maximized. Windows 98 and ME users will
see the "tool tips" with those meanings when
they hover the mouse cursor over the symbols; Windows 95
users won't see these tool tips. Is there another way of
maximizing and restoring window sizes? Of course;
Windows, it seems, usually has MANY different ways of
doing the same thing. What you can do to toggle between
maximized and restored sizes is to double-click the title
bar of any window.
