How to Put an ICON on your DESKTOP for your Spreadsheet / Tracker:

 Right-click Start; (left) click Explore.

 Click on the folder that you saved the tracker file to, so that you can see the files in it. 

 Find your tracker file (HEplanner--staroffice52v5.sdc or HEpl10X5.xls) and 
 click it once to highlight it. 

 Click the Restore/Resize button (upper right-hand corner of screen, 
 in between Minimize button and X close button) 
 so that the Explore window only covers part of the screen.

 In the smaller Explore window, scroll if necessary, until you see the highlight for the file.

 RIGHT-drag the highlighted object onto your desktop.

 In the pop-up menu, click Create Shortcut(s) Here.

 To get your Explore window back the way it was:
 Down at the bottom of your screen, RIGHT-click the rectangle for Exploring.
 Click Maximize.

 Close your Explore window, by clicking it's X in the upper right-hand corner.

Continue Scrolling Down . . . 


 I'm now assuming that 

 
not only did you download Star Office, 
but that you also have installed Star Office 
like the instructions in, Star Office Download (for Windows).
(Click Desktop Icon to come back here.)  or 
 
that you have Excel installed on your computer. 
 

 Now anytime you want to open your Spreadsheet / Tracker, all you should have to do is 
 double-click your Shortcut icon on your desktop.


Alternate Method to Open File:
 Launch: 

Star Office (Start | Programs | Star Office 5.2 | Star Office 5.2), or 
Excel (Start | Programs | Microsoft Excel).


 In Star Office (or Excel), use File | Open.
 Then, find the file HEplanner--staroffice52v5.sdc (or HEpl10X5.xls) in your folder. 
 Click on it to select it, and click OK.
