Starting Programs at the Run Line

This lesson is about starting programs without icons.

1. Click Start. 

2. Click Run. 

3. The Run Window pops up. 

4. We can type many different things in the run window to run programs in the computer.  Here is a list.

   iexplorer	Internet Explorer
   wmplayer	Windows Media Player
   sol	Solitaire
   calc	Calculator
   explorer	Windows Explorer (for finding files)
   magnify	A screen magnifier
   mshearts	A game of Hearts
   mspaint	A drawing program
   notepad	A program for writing notes
   dfrg.msc	Disk Defragmenter - an easy program to run that should help the computer run better.

5. After you type things into your run window the computer will remember them for next time.
