How do I change the actual size of my windows? It hides my bottom taskbar.?

Question

ok... my open windows take up my whole monitor, when I go to the corner I don't get the little black arrow to change the size. Yet when I open a new window that page takes up everything and I have to minimize to get to my bottom taskbar and clock.... this is driving me crazy as I usually have 4 open at once. How do I change this????

Do the followings, open just one window, take your mouse to the edge of the page and the mouse will appear like a two headed black arrow, click and hold it, try dragging it backward till the position you want it, repeat the same step through the other 3 edges of the window, navigate through pages then close it and open a fresh page to see if the changes took effect. Another option in case you don't see any of the four edges of your windows is, right click on the job on your task bar and select "Move" and your mouse will automatically jump to the upper edge of your windows, click and hold it, try dragging it backward to the position you want it then repeat the directions I gave above to the other 3 edges. About your task bar, right click on your task bar, select "properties" and check "keep the task bar on top of other windows", click apply and OK.

Use the button between minimize and X, it's restore. If it's a picture of a window overlapping another one the window is maximized, if it's a picture of 1 window it means the window is in restore mode, and can be resized. If it's maximized you cannot resize it :)



You can also hold CTRL and right click one of the programs on the taskbar, this will give you options like "cascade" and "tile".
