It is possible to have more than one window open.

Think of a window almost like the page of a book; in a book, you can have a page open that you are reading, and you can have another page marked with a bookmark further through the book, ready for you to go to easily.

In a similar way, an active window is a program that is in use (like the book page that you are reading) and inactive window is a program that is not in use (like the page you do not have open but have placed a bookmark for ready access).

How do you keep a window active when it is minimized?

This is a very general question for a problem that has many answers. Programs that you would like to run in the background need to have an option somewhere in their configuration menu or options menu in order to change whether it will be active or not while the window itself is inactive. As far as I know, the only way you can change this manually is for you to be a programmer and do this yourself somehow (I am learning, but I have no idea as of now). So, depending on what program it is you want to run while inactive, you need to look through the configuration/options files, looking for options such as "Pause program while inactive?". That's about it, though.


What is Active window?

An active window is the window of an application you are using by that time. If you open Google Chrome, Windows Media Player together, but you are operating Google Chrome, then Google Chrome is the active window. If you are using Windows Media Player instead of Google Chrome, then Windows Media Player is the active window.
