Moving a Window

Moving a Window

When you start working with multiple windows, moving a window becomes as important as sizing one. For example, you may need to move one or more windows to make room for other work on your desktop.

Procedures: (Open your Computer window by double-clicking on its icon.)

Try moving your window with the mouse and the keyboard.

Moving a Window using the Mouse

1. To move a window using the mouse, point at the window’s title bar, press and hold the left mouse button, and drag it to a new location. (If you forgot the location of the title bar, revisit the Working With a Window page.
or check out the graphic below).

Moving a Window using the Keyboard

To use the keyboard, follow these steps:

1. Press Alt + Spacebar (for an application window) to open the window’s control menu.


2. Press M to choose the Move command. The pointer changes to a four-headed arrow .
3. Use the arrow keys to move the window to a new location.
4. When the window is located where you want it, press Enter. To cancel the operation and return the window
to its original location, press Esc.
