102 Learning the Basics Starting a program ❖ Use Windows® Explorer to locate the program file. ❖ Use the Run dialog box. The next three sections explain how to start a program from the Start menu, Explorer, and the Run dialog box. 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, 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. The Accessories menu displays. 3 Click the program, in this example, WordPad. WordPad opens. To close the program, click the Close button in the upper-right corner of the program's window. Starting a program from Windows® Explorer If a program is not listed in the Programs menu, you can start it from Windows® Explorer. Windows® Explorer gives you a view of your computer's contents as a hierarchy or "tree." You can easily see the content of each drive and folder on your computer. To use this method, you should know the file name and location of the program's executable file (this file ends with .exe). This example opens WordPad using Windows Explorer.
