    Window

    Window: A section of the computer's display in a GUI that shows the program currently being
    used. For example, the browser window that you are using to view this web page is a window.
    Windows allow a user to work with multiple programs or view multiple programs at once.
    Almost all windows allow you to minimize and maximize them, allowing you to hide and view a
    program temporarily. Below is an example of what a Microsoft Windows window may look like
    and each of its major functions, also known as the window elements.

    Microsoft Windows shortcut keys

    Below is a listing of all the major Windows shortcut keys for every version of Microsoft
    Windows.

    General Windows keyboard shortcuts

    Alt + Tab

    Switch between open applications in all versions of Windows. Reverse the direction by pressing
    Alt + Shift + Tab at the same time.

    this feature. Reverse the direction by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Tab at the same time.

    doing this on a file would display its properties.

    Alt + Print Screen

    Create a screen shot only for the active program window in all versions of Windows. For
    example, if you opened the calculator and did this only the calculator window would be created
    as a screen shot. If just the Print Screen key is pressed the whole screen will be made into a
    screen shot.
