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 The Windows Millennium Edition tutorial chapter gives stepby-step instructions for starting a program from the Start menu, Explorer and Run dialog box. 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. 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.
