Recent Programs
2017 © study-blast
If you open a program this time, then you might want to open it again next time, so the start menu keeps a list of all your recent programs. Press the start button to open recent programs instead of clicking through all programs.
Recent Programs
My recent programs are Paint, Notepad, Minesweeper, and Solitaire.
- Press the start button.
- Press the start button again.
This completes recent programs.
Open A Recent Program
Open a recent program like Notepad.
- Press the start button.
- Click the Notepad item.
It opens Notepad.
This completes opening a recent program.
Add A Recent Program
Every time you open a program, the start menu adds it to your recent programs.
- Press the start button.
- Click the All Programs item.
- Click the Games item.
- Click the Internet Checkers item.
I just want to open Internet Checkers for now, I don't want to play it right now.
- Press the Quit button.
Internet Checkers is a recent program.
- Press the start button.
- Press the start button again.
The next time I want to play Internet Checkers, I can open it from recent programs instead of clicking through all programs and games.
Remove A Recent Program
I just realized that I'm never going to connect Windows XP to the internet so I'm never going to play internet checkers. Remove it from recent programs.
- Press the start button.
- Right-click the Internet Checkers item.
- Click the Remove from This List item.
I never play Minesweeper or Solitaire so remove them from recent programs, too.
