# 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.
