Starting a program
The easiest way to start a program is to double-click the name
of a file that is associated with the program you want to use.
To find the file, use My Computer or Windows
®
Explorer.
If you prefer to open the program first, you can:
❖ 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 use these methods.
Starting a program from the Start menu
When you install a program, the operating system usually
puts an icon in the All Programs menu. To start a program
that has an icon in the All Programs menu, follow these steps,
which use the Windows
®
Wordpad program as an example:
1 Click Start, then point to All Programs.
The Windows
®
XP operating system displays the All
Programs menu, which lists programs and program groups. If
your program is listed, go to step 3, otherwise, continue with
step 2.
2 Point to the program group, in this example, Accessories.
