It will be a long time before I leave Windows 7, but a friend of mine 
went out and  purchased a new computer with Windows 8 on it.

She wants to know how to close a window after she's done with it. For 
example, she says she uses a link to go to an email message, and, after 
she is done with it, she doesn't know how to get out of it.  She says 
that there's "no red X to click on," and that she's had to turn the 
machine off to get out of it.  Sometimes that doesn't even work, as it 
goes back to what she was reading.

I told her to get "Windows 8 for dummies" or something, but she's been 
confused in the past by computer books, and she's the type of person to 
not sit still long enough to read through a book.

So, how do you close a window after you're done with it?

Is there anywhere online that has a very simple outline of the basic 8 
functions?

Thanks,

Dean Kukral
