Learning the Basics Saving your work 77 ❖ Use Windows® Explorer or My Computer to locate the program file ❖ Use the Run dialog box The Windows® XP operating system's tutorial chapter gives step-by-step instructions for starting a program from the Start menu. See "Lesson 6: Starting programs" on page 126. 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 your data even when you are using the Standby command, in case the battery discharges before you return to work. Your computer can be configured to warn you when the battery is running low, see "Setting battery alarms" on page 108. 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. ❖ A new file, choose Save As from the File menu, type a name for the file, and click OK. HINT: To make another copy of the file you are currently working with, choose Save As from the File menu and give the new file a different name. For information on how to name a file, see "Windows® XP file system" on page 118.
