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 the Start menu or Windows
® Explorer.
If you prefer to open the program first, you have three options. You
can:
❖
Use the Search programs and files field in the Start menu
❖
Double-click the icon for the program on your desktop
❖
Use the Start menu
The next two sections explain how to start a program from the Start
menu, and the Search programs and files field.
