Effectively organizing multiple windows on your desktop can really improve how you work. Depending on how many windows you have open, consider <Tiling> or <Cascading> them. Cascading windows works well for when you have more than three windows open. Go to the <Desktop Taskbar>. Pick an empty area of the taskbar and single-click on it with the right mouse button. In the pop-up menu that appears, single-click on <Cascade Windows> with the left mouse button. All your open windows will line up one behind the other, rather the same way you might fan out a hand of playing cards. This way you maximize your workspace and can also quickly click back and forth between windows. Tiling windows is more helpful when you're only working with two or three windows that you need access to at the same time. Say you're working with a web browser and a word document simultaneously, but don't want to be constantly clicking back and forth. Find an empty spot on your desktop taskbar and single-click on it again with the right mouse button. This time, either single-click on <Tile Vertically>, or <Tile Horizontally> (I prefer <Tile Vertically>, but that's just personal preference). The windows will now appear all lined up together, with their edges touching. This is why tiling works best for small numbers of windows: too many and the windows are too small to be intelligible. You can reverse
tiling by single-clicking the taskbar again with the right mouse button,
and single-clicking on <Undo Tile> in the pop-up menu.
