Starting a program
In Windows 98 there are three ways to start a program—from an
icon, Windows Explorer, and using the run dialog box.
Starting a program from an icon
To start a program that has an icon in the Programs menu, follow
these steps, which use the Windows 98 Wordpad program as an
example.
1
Click Start, then point to Programs.
Windows 98 displays the Programs menu. This menu lists pro
grams and program groups. If your program is listed, go to
Step 3, otherwise, continue with Step 2.
2
Point to the program group (Accessories in this example).
Windows 98 displays the Accessories menu.
3
Click the program (Wordpad in this example).
Windows 98 opens Wordpad, which is a text editor—a scaled-
down word processor without the frills.
That's all there is to it. To close the program, click the close button
at the upper-right corner of the window.
