Switching between Windows

When you have several programs or windows opened and running
simultaneously, you can only work in one window at a time. The window you're
working with is the active window and always appears on top of the other
windows. Switching between windows is like making a window active.

Here's how to switch between windows running:
1. Make sure the WordPad program is still opened.
2. Start a new program (e.g. calculator) by clicking the Start button and
selecting: All Programs→ Accessories→ Calculator

3. Click the title bar of the WordPad. [The WordPad program appears in
front and its icon on the taskbar is depressed.]
4. Click any portion of the Calculator window.
5. If you can't see the Calculator window at all, it's because the Calculator
window is completely covered by the WordPad window. In this case,
you will have to click the Calculator icon on the taskbar.

Switching between windows

Using Alt + Tab keys
Yet another method of switching between windows is the most famous keystroke
combination in Windows:
Press and hold down the Alt key, press and release the Tab key, but

don't release the Alt key. The task window lists all the windows and
programs that are currently running.

Move on to the next step to see how you can retrieve a program or window from

the task list.
While still holding down the <Alt> key, press and release the <Tab>
key until the WordPad program is selected, then release the <Alt> key.
