Getting Familiar with the Windows XP Window

More Windows XP bars and buttons

Windows XP offers several tools, menus, and commands that make the operating system easy to use.

The title bar is the horizontal bar at the top of a window. It's displayed as white text on a blue background by default.

The Control menu button is the icon at the far left end of the title bar. The Control menu button opens a menu you can use to control the window.
