Title: How do I minimize a full screen?
Post by: Pennie77 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?

Thanks, Pennie77

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
