Smart with windows and memory |
Start thinking about the daily routine
you'll use when working with windows. you might open a word-processing
program like WordPad or a spreadsheet program like Excel as well
as a scheduling or electronic mail program. You'll switch between
all of these programs during the day to create documents, check
schedules, and do other things. It doesn't make sense to open
and close these programs every time you need them. Get in the
habit of maximizing the window you're working with, then minimizing
it when you need to work in another window.
Just keep them open and switch between them as needed, assuming your computer
has enough memory to run all the programs at the same time. Programs that are
open on the desktop or minimized to a button in the taskbar continue to use the
computers memory. If you need to run other programs as well, you might run out
of memory or see a loss in performance. If you don't plan on using a program
for a while, close it completely by clicking the X, or close
window, button in its window. |
