When you install a program, the operating system usually puts an 
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:

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.

If you pause with your mouse on All Programs, it will open it up. You 
may need to scroll up or down to see the complete list.

Click the program group, in this example, Accessories.

The Accessories menu is displayed.

Click the program, in this example, WordPad.

WordPad opens.

To close the program, click the Close button in the upper-right 
corner of the program’s window.

If a program is not listed in the All Programs menu, you can start it 
from Windows

®

 Explorer. Windows

®

 Explorer gives you a view of 

your computer’s contents as a hierarchy or “tree.” You can easily 
see the contents of each drive and folder on your computer. To use 
this method, you should know the file name and location of the 
program’s executable file (this file ends with .exe). 

This example opens WordPad using Windows

®

 Explorer.

If you pause with your mouse on All Programs, it will open it up. You 
may need to scroll up or down to see the complete list.

Click the Windows Explorer icon on the taskbar. 

In the left part of the window, double-click Computer to 
expand the window.

In the left part of the window, click the line that ends in “Local 
Disk (C:).”
