Chapter 2. Launching and Working with Programs

On its own, Windows 7 does not do very much. To do something useful with your computer, you need to work with a program, which at first will probably mean a program that comes with Windows 7, which offers a number of useful programs.

However, you can also work with any program that you install yourself, and this chapter shows you how to install programs.

In this chapter you also learn how to launch programs, understand program windows, and work with program pull-down menus, toolbars, dialog boxes, scrollbars, and jump lists.
