3. Click the tool button with a picture of a paintbrush.
4. Click on a colour.
5. Now click on the centre screen and hold down the mouse button while you slide the mouse around.

7. When asked if you want to save your document, click on no.
8. When you have finished, remember to close the window.

You have learned to start up programs by using the Start button and selecting from menus. Now you are going to learn a different way of starting up programs.

You might want to do all that again until you are confident that you can start programs by double-clicking.
