82 Learning the Basics Starting a program The Windows® XP Professional 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 is displayed. 3 Click the program, in this example, Wordpad. Wordpad opens. To close the program, click the Close button in the upperright 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 its file name, wordpad.exe. 1 Click Start, then point to All Programs. 2 Click Accessories. 3 Click Windows Explorer. 4 Click My Computer, to expand it. 5 In the left part of the window, under the C: icon, double-click the folder containing the program, in this case Program Files. Windows® Explorer shows the contents of the Program Files folder on the right side of the window. The left side of the window shows all the folders contained within the Program Files folder.
