Probably nothing in Microsoft Windows is more self-evident than
running programs. Thanks to the Start menu, most recently used
(MRU) lists, file-type associations, the Documents menu, and the
Favorites menu, even the greenest beginner is unlikely to have
difficulty getting his or her favorite application or document aloft.
But a few fine points need to be considered, and this unit considers
them. In particular, scheduled (and startup) program execution,
ways to run a program under a different user account, and
applications that present compatibility issues with Microsoft
Windows 2000, will be discussed. Also a brief look at command-
line execution of Windows-based programs will be taken.
