Program Icon in the Dock

When you open a Windows program, its icon appears in the Mac OS X Dock at the bottom of the

screen. By default when you close the program, the icon disappears from the Dock. Keeping a

program's icon in the Dock provides a quick way to open the program anytime.

To keep a Windows program's icon in the Dock, do one of the following:

• Right-click or Control-click the Windows program icon in the Dock and choose Keep in Dock

from the shortcut menu.

• Drag the program's icon from the Finder to the Dock.

Now you can open the program again anytime by clicking the icon in the Dock.

Spotlight

You can search for and open Windows programs using Spotlight:

• Click the Spotlight icon in the upper-right corner of your screen, or press Command-Space bar

on your keyboard. Then type the name of the program and select it from the list.

Launchpad

If you're using Mac OS X Lion, you can see a full screen display of all your Windows programs and

Mac applications using Launchpad. Just click the Launchpad icon (looks like a rocket) in the Dock.

You can then click any Mac OS X application to open it. To open a Windows program, click the

Windows folder and then click the program you want.

Note: The Windows folder is available in Launchpad only if sharing Windows programs (p. 69) is

enabled.

To move a Windows program from the Windows folder to a main Launchpad page, do one of the

following:

• From Launchpad, click the folder containing your Windows programs and drag a program to

the Launchpad icon in the Dock.
