Each file has its own format, which can be opened with the appropriate application. So, for example, files with the.doc extension are opened in Microsoft Office Word,.obj - MilkShape 3D or 3ds Max. For the program to be able to read the required file, it must, firstly, be installed on the computer, and secondly, it must be running. You can call the program in different ways.
Instructions
Step 1
When you install an application on your computer, the files required for it to work correctly are saved in a specific directory. Through "My Computer" go to the desired local drive and open the folder with the name of the program you want to run. Most programs have their own icon, which is different from the system icons. If the appropriate settings are set on the computer, you will see that the startup files have an.exe extension. Click on the launch icon with the left mouse button (or right-click and select the "Open" command from the drop-down menu) and wait for the application to load.
Step 2
The program can also be called from the "Desktop" if a shortcut for the launch file has been created on it. Some programs create it automatically during installation. If this is not your case, you can create a shortcut yourself. Go to the directory with the installed program, right-click on the launch file. From the drop-down menu, select the "Send" command, in the submenu, select the "Desktop (create shortcut)" item by clicking on it with the left mouse button. After the program icon appears on the "Desktop", you do not have to look for the startup file in the folders every time.
Step 3
If you have to use the program very often, and there is no space on the "Desktop" for an extra shortcut, the application can be called from the quick launch panel in one click of the mouse. The Quick Launch is located on the Taskbar to the right of the Start button. To place the program launch file on the Quick Launch, go to the application folder, position the cursor over the launch file icon. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the icon on the Taskbar to the Quick Launch area. The same can be done with the program shortcut on the "Desktop" - drag it to the panel, then you can delete the shortcut from the "Desktop".
Step 4
A number of programs create an entry about themselves in the Start menu. Typically, the Start menu contains icons for the startup file (always), uninstallation, and program settings (may not be present). Click on the "Start" button with the left mouse button or on the key with the Windows flag on the keyboard. If the "Start" menu is not fully displayed, select "All programs", in the menu that opens, select the line with the name of the program you need, in the submenu, left-click on its launch icon.
