2.3. Starting Up Applications
Windows
XP has more ways to launch a program than just about any other
operating system:
- Double-click on a program
icon in Explorer, on the Desktop,
or in a folder window. - Double-click on a file associated with an application to launch that
application and open the file. - Pick the name of a program from the Start menu. (See
"Start Menu" in Chapter 3 for details.) - Click on a program's icon in the
Quick Launch Toolbar to start it.
This Toolbar can include icons for any
programs, although by default, it only has icons for
Internet
Explorer, Outlook Express, and
MSN. (See
"Toolbars on the Taskbar" for details.) - Right-click on a file, executable, or application icon and choose
Open. - Select (highlight) an icon and press the Enter key.
- Type the filename of a program in the Address Bar, which can be
displayed next to the Toolbar in any folder window, in Explorer, in
Internet Explorer, or even as part of the Taskbar. You may also have
to include the path (the folder and drive name) for some items. - Select Run from the Start menu and type the filename of a
program. You may also have to include the path (the folder and drive
name) for some items. - Open a command prompt window and type the
name of the program at the prompt. Note that some knowledge of the
command prompt (commonly known as DOS) is requiredsee Chapter 6 for details. - Create
shortcuts to files or
applications. A shortcut is a kind of pointer or linka small
file and associated icon that point to a file or program in another
location. You can put these shortcuts on the Desktop, in the Start
menu, or anywhere else you find convenient. Double-click on a
shortcut to launch the program. To launch
programs automatically at startup,
just place a shortcut in your Startup folder (\Documents
and Settings\{username}\Start Menu\StartUp ).
Some programs are really "in your
face." For example, if you install AOL, it puts an
icon on the Desktop, in the Office Shortcut Bar, on the Start menu
(in two places, no less), and even shoehorns an icon into the System
Tray, which is normally reserved for system status indicators. Other,
less-obtrusive programs may be more difficult to locate. In fact,
you'll probably find several programs mentioned in
this book you never even knew you had!
