  1. Click the link above to download a zip file
  2. Save the downloaded file
  3. Double click to extract the file to a directory on your computer
  4. In the directory, click the .exe shortcut of the app you wish to use. This will only run on Windows touchscreen devices. 
  5. To close an app, use Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del). This is to prevent children 'accidentally' closing apps.
