Lesson 8: Closing programs

Once you are finished working with a document or program,
it is a good idea to close it. While you can run several
programs at the same time, having a large number of
programs and documents open simultaneously can slow
down your computer.
This lesson teaches you how to close the programs you
opened earlier in this tutorial.
To close the programs:
1 Click the Close button at the top-right of the Explorer
window.
Windows Explorer closes, removing the Explorer button
from the taskbar as well.
2 Close Paint and the My Computer window (assuming it is
still open) by clicking the Close buttons for each
program.
HINT: Always save your work before you close a program.
