    How do I minimize a full screen?
    « on: February 21, 2009, 03:54:01 PM »
    I'm having trouble with a program that
    takes up the full screen.  It has no
    minimize button.  I need to minimize it
    to make notes on Notepad. 

    Please help?

    Thanks, Pennie77

    Hit the Windows Logo key and
    the letter D at the same time.  8)

      Thanks so  much for your help, but I don't have
      a Window keyboard.  It is Logitech.  There is no
      Windows Logo key.  (or am I missing something
      here?).  Can you help?

      You know the flag that appears in front of the start menu? (Or the flag that is the start menu in Vista)
      Often looks like this:

      Sometimes it has a circle around it.

      Press that, and then D.
      Or, press the ALT key and TAB (ALT+Tab)

      Or Ctrl+Esc, Alt+Esc, Shift+Alt+Esc... the possibilities are boundless, like windows memory usage...  ;D
