THE SYSTEM MENU

If you take a look at most windows that open up when you start a program, there is an icon on the left end of the Title Bar. This is the System Menu button, and clicking on it gives you the System Menu. The usual contents of the System Menu are these:

System Menu


1) Restore -- resizes the window to whatever it was before you maximized it.
2) Maximize -- makes the window the size of your entire screen.
3) Minimize -- reduces the window to a button on the Task Bar.
4) Close -- close the window. Same as the Close button (the square with an x in it at the top right of the window.)
5) Move -- this will let you move the window around with the cursor arrow keys. This is the same as moving a window around with a mouse by dragging the title bar. You should press the Enter key after your last cursor arrow key press to end the movement.
