Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system for controlling content on a display of a computer system. The method and system comprises providing at least one control element on the display, moving the at least one control element selectively between a first position and a second position on the window. The method and system further includes the content between the first and second positions. The at least one control element allows the user to "fold" windows of information like a piece of paper, at any location, to hide information that is not of interest to the user.
