+# Launching Applications
+
+BoredOS provides several ways to launch applications and files, depending on your preferred workflow.
+
+## 1. Using the File Explorer
+
+The File Explorer is the primary way to navigate the filesystem and launch any `.elf` binary or associated document.
+
+1.  Open the **Explorer** from the dock or desktop.
+2.  Navigate to `/bin` for system applications or your own user folders.
+3.  **Double-click** any executable (`.elf`) to run it.
+4.  Standard files (like `.jpg` or `.txt`) will automatically open in their default viewer.
+
+## 2. Desktop Shortcuts and Icons
+
+Commonly used applications are placed directly on the desktop.
+
+-   Simply **Double-click** any icon on the desktop to launch it.
+-   You can also create desktop shortcuts by right-clicking on a file and selecting **"Create Shortcut"**.
+
+## 3. Using Lumos (Global Search)
+
+For the fastest access, use **Lumos** to search and launch by name:
+
+1.  Press **`Shift + Ctrl + Space`**.
+2.  Type the name of the app (e.g., "DOOM.elf").
+3.  Press **Enter** to launch.
