If you're connected to the Virtual Computer lab and find that the Start button doesn't appear to work on the desktop, you can find and run programs using the "Start Menu" folder on the desktop by doing the following:
1. First, click on the "Start Menu" icon on the desktop.
2. Next, locate the program you want to run. You may find it inside the Programs folder, or you can type the name of the program in the Search Start Menu field and press Enter.
