Hi Charles,

When you have Paint open there will be an icon on your taskback. If you hold shift and click on the app in the taskbar it will open another window of Paint. You can do this multiple times to get as many windows open as you like.

Best,
Jeanette

Hi,
I use GIMP but find paint.net (different to MS Paint) very good as a more accessible graphics tool.
