At some point, you may need a window
to be a particular size to suit your needs. If so, simply drag the
window border to change the size of the window.
Procedures: (Open your floppy
A:/ drive window)
To use the mouse, follow these
steps:
1. Place the mouse pointer on the
portion of the border (vertical, horizontal, or corner) that you want
to resize. When the mouse pointer is positioned correctly, it changes
into one of the shapes described here:
 The
vertical double-headed arrow appears when you position the mouse
pointer over the top or bottom window border. It enables you to resize
the window’s height by dragging the border up or down.
 The
horizontal double-headed arrow appears when you position the
mouse pointer over either side of the window border. It enables you
to resize the window’s width by dragging the border left or right.
 The
diagonal double-headed arrow appears when you position the mouse
pointer over any of the four corners of the window border. It enables
you to resize the window’s height and width proportionally by dragging
the corner diagonally.
2. Press the mouse button and drag
the border. A faint line appears, indicating where the border will
be when you release the mouse button.
3. Once the border is in the desired
location, release the mouse button. The window is resized.
