multiple files on view screen

How do I get the view screen on my monitor to show me several files (eg Works documents, data bases, images, applications, etc) at the same time. I thought that was what Windows was all about but I can't seem to find out how to do it.

 

With the files open that you want to view, right click on the Task Bar and left click on "Tile Vertically" or "Tile Horizontally," whichever view you prefer. You can click on one, then the other to see which arrangement you like better.

Before you close the files, be sure to right click on the Taskbar again and left click "Undo Tile" or else the program windows you have open will open next time the same size and placement they were when they were tiled.
