What happens when you minimize a program window?
Answer
It disappears from view but remains running
Explanation
### Why this is right
Minimizing collapses a program window into the taskbar. The window is no longer visible, but the program remains running.
### The concept
Minimize changes visibility rather than ending the program. This differs from Close, which closes the window, and from Maximize, which makes it fill the screen.
### The other options
- **B. It is permanently deleted**: Minimizing does not delete the program or its files.
- **C. It is resized to fill the screen**: That describes maximizing.
- **D. It is closed and its program stops**: That confuses minimizing with closing.
### Terms
- **Taskbar**: The Windows bar that provides access to Start and running or pinned programs.
### Remember
Minimized means hidden but still running.
