Tech Tip For Writers #5b: Reveal a Program
Tech Tips for Soon-to-be Great Writers
Tech Tips for Writers is an (almost) weekly post on overcoming Tech Dread. I'll cover issues that friends, both real-time and virtual, have shared. Feel free to post a comment about a question you have. I'll cover it in a future Tip.
Q: Some programs hide the taskbar when they open. How do I access other programs without closing down the one I'm working on?
A: Push the Flying Windows key (it's between Ctrl and Alt). That brings up the start menu as well as exposing the taskbar. Now, you can access open programs on the taskbar and/or new programs from the start menu.
