Using the Launcher

Besides the icons, you will also see a Launcher window on your desktop. The Launcher is used for starting programs. To open a program, all you have to do is click once on its icon in the Launcher. If the Launcher is not available, you can do one of two things.

To reopen the Launcher window:

  1. Go the Apple menu in the upper left hand corner of your screen and select Control Panels while still holding the mouse button down.

  2. Select Launcher from the list of available Control Panels.

  3. The launcher window will open.

To open programs without the Launcher window:

  1. Double-click on the Macintosh HD icon on the desktop.

  2. Double-click on the Applications folder.

  3. Locate the program that you would like to open with the Applications folder.

  4. Double-click on the program icon (sometimes you will have to open the programs folder before you can locate the program icon).
