Although you won’t
do this very often on the web, it’s good to know
how to move an object on the screen. This is done
by clicking and dragging. Again, you will want to
use the left button. The big difference from the
previous scenario is that this time you will click
and hold the button down.

HOW TO DO IT
|
|
|
|
1. Position
the pointer over the item you want to drag
|
|
2. Press
the left button and HOLD IT DOWN.
|
|
3. Move
the pointer (Usually, you will also see the outline
of the item you are dragging) to another location
on the screen.
|
|
4. Release
the left button
|
|
|
|
This is a useful
tool if you want to look at two or more windows
at the same time. It's possible to change the size
of the windows and position them side-by-side so
they don't overlap.

In this diagram,
I have chosen to move the icon for My Computer.
This is what it looks like just before I
release the left button.

What s an Icon?
An icon is picture
that represents an object or application
on your computer. In this case, the icon
labeled "My Computer" represents everything
on my computer. Other icons may represent
your browser or word processing application.
Some icons may be on your desktop; others
may be on your taskbar.
