Starting a program from the Start menu

icon in the All Programs menu. To start a program that has an icon 
in the All Programs menu, follow these steps, which use the 
Windows
®
 WordPad program as an example:
1
Click Start, and then All Programs.
The Windows
®
 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.

may need to scroll up or down to see the complete list.

Saving your work
Before you turn off the computer using the Shut down command, 
save your work on the internal storage drive, external media, flash 
media, or optical disc. This is one of the most important rules of 
computing.
When you turn off the computer using the Sleep or Hibernate 
commands, your work should be there when you resume. 
Many programs offer a feature that saves documents at regular 
intervals. Check your program’s documentation to see if it has an 
automatic save feature.
