I know I ask for help a lot, but I am a newbie at photography. These windows in the photos are too bright, they mess it up for me. Can anyone help me fix them and tell me what they did?

I changed your photo to a link. Please help keep the forums dial up friendly by posting links or clickable thumbnail sized images. Thanks. For a tutorial on how to do that, please check out the LEARN section of DPC.

You can use the polygonal lasso tool to select the windows and darken with levels, curves, etc.

Or can also selected them as highlights, by Ctrl-Alt-~ and then manipulate them. Once selected, can copy, new, paste into a new layer, make changes (rest of image will be transparant) and the select again, copy and paste into base layer and adjust opacity if needed. (or somethin like that anyway...)

How about trying opening the shot a couple of times with different exposures (if you have a raw file...or having a couple of layers).

Set one layer/exposure for the darkness. Then another for the windows.

Then use the eraser button to work the two layers together, so the different exposures mix together into one image.
