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 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 and
Hibernation. 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.
