Windows 7 gives you more ways to work with program windows. For example, you have more ways to maximize and arrange windows on the desktop. In addition to the familiar ways of maximizing a window, double-clicking its taskbar or clicking the Maximize button, you can simply drag the window’s title bar to the top of the desktop. Windows will then maximize the window. To restore it to a window, just drag the title bar down from the top of the desktop. Is that any faster than using the buttons in the top-right corner of the window? Not really, but on a high-resolution display, those buttons can be kind of small, and dragging the title bar is an easier method.

You can also dock windows to the left or right side of the desktop. Docking the window attaches the edge of the window to the edge of the desktop and sizes the window to fill exactly half of the desktop. You dock the window by dragging the title bar to the left or right edge of the desktop. This is a great feature when you want to copy or move items between two windows.
Finally, remember the Show Desktop icon in previous versions of Windows, which when clicked minimized all running programs to the taskbar temporarily? That feature is now in the bottom-right corner of the taskbar. Just hover the mouse over the small, vertical button at the right edge of the taskbar, and Windows makes all open windows disappear so that you can see the desktop. This is really handy when you want to see your desktop gadgets for a second. To view your program windows again, just move the mouse away from the taskbar.
