Tip 3. To organize several open windows, right-click on a blank area of taskbar (the taskbar is a row of buttons and
icons that usually appears along the bottom of the screen) and choose one of the tile commands (cascade
windows, tile windows horizontally, or tile windows vertically), . Windows XP scoops all your open windows and lays
them back down in neat orderly squares.
