How do you maximize a window?
How do you maximize a window in Windows XP? A seemingly simple question with a simple answer, right? Not necessarily. Most of you, after hearing the question, probably immediately thought of the little maximize button that appears to the left of the red X button on nearly every window in Windows XP. But did you know there are more ways to maximize a window? Next time, try one of these:
- Double-click your mouse on the title bar of the window (my personal favorite).
- Click the icon at the top left of the window and choose Maximize from the pop-up menu.
- Right-click on the program entry on the task bar to the right of the Start button and choose Maximize from the pop-up menu.
- And lastly, if you want to avoid the mouse altogether, hit Alt-Space on your keyboard, use the down arrow key to select Maximize from the pop-up menu and then hit the Enter key.
Which one is your favorite?
