It might be an obvious one but be sure to use the search window to find what you’re looking for — be it a program or file. Simply click the Start button and you’ll see a universal search window at the bottom of the pop-up window. Start typing a few letters and Windows will try to guess what you’re looking for by showing you matching apps or files near the top of the window (such as typing C and U, and immediately seeing Cute FTP Professional as a selectable option). This simplifies the search process that used to take a while on older versions of Windows.
