Starting a program
The easiest way to start a program is to double-click the name of
the file that contains the information you want to work on. To find
the file, use My Computer or Windows
®
Explorer.
If you prefer to open the program first, you have four options. You can:
❖ Double-click the icon for the program on your desktop
❖ Use the Start menu
❖ Use Windows
®
Explorer or My Computer to locate the
program file
❖ Use the Run dialog box
The next three sections explain how to start a program from the
Start menu, Windows
