It’s fairly easy to move from one open app to another. Because they’re all open in windows on your desktop, you just click the app you want: It pops to the forefront, ready for work. (For more details about the desktop, flip ahead to Chapter 3.)

But what if the windows overlap, and you can’t spot the one you want?

Whether you’re running Windows on a PC, laptop, or tablet, you can bring any missing app to the forefront by following these two quick steps:

1  Click or tap the Task View button.The screen clears, and Windows displays miniature views of your open apps and programs, as shown in Figure 2-6.

2 Tap or click any thumbnail to return the app or program to full size.

These three tips can help you keep track of your running apps as well as close the ones you no longer want open:

 Currently running apps and programs also appear as icons on the taskbar, the narrow strip along the bottom of the screen. (I cover the taskbar in Chapter 3.) Icons for apps that are open on the desktop have a little line or dot beneath them.FIGURE 2-6: Click the Task View button to see thumbnail views of each of your currently running apps and programs.

  To close an unwanted app shown in thumbnail view, click or tap the X that appears in its upper-right corner. (The X only appears when your mouse pointer hovers over the thumbnail.) With a mouse, you can also right-click the app’s thumbnail, and choose Close from the pop-up menu.

 After you close an app, the miniature views of the other running apps remain onscreen, letting you either switch to them or close them. Or to leave the Task View mode, click or tap the desktop, away from the windows.
