Learning the Basics Starting a program 63 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 the following options: ❖ Double-click the icon for the program on your desktop ❖ Use the Start menu ❖ Use Windows® Explorer to locate the program file ❖ Use the Run dialog box For more information, see Help and Support in the Start menu. Saving your work Before you turn off the computer, save your work to the hard disk drive or a diskette. NOTE: Always save your data even when you are using the Stand by command. If your battery fully discharges, your information will be lost. Your computer can be configured to warn you when the battery is running low, see "Using battery alarms" on page 85. Many programs offer a feature that saves documents at regular intervals, such as every 15 minutes. Check your programs' documentation to see whether they have an automatic save feature. To save: ❖ A file you are updating, open the program's File menu and click Save.
