84 Learning the Basics Starting a program Starting a program The easiest way to start a program is to 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 your computer has Windows® 98 Second Edition, refer to "Using Windows ® Explorer" on page 227. 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 Saving your work Before you turn off the computer, save your work to the hard disk drive or a diskette. This is one of the most important rules of computing. NOTE: Save data even when you are using Standby. If the battery discharges before you return to work, your data will be lost unless it has been saved. Many programs offer a feature that saves documents at regular intervals, such as every 15 minutes. Check your programs' documentation to see if they have an automatic-save feature. To save a new file: Open the File menu of the program you are using, click Save As, type a name for the file, then click OK.
