Making a Project
Once you have opened up Mindstorms NXT you will be prompted with a window that looks like this:
This is the main starting window. Everytime you open Mindstorms this will appear. From here there are a couple things that you can do.
First is creating a new program. This can be done by typing in a name of your program beside "Create new program" and press go. It can also be done by clicking the new page button in the top left, going into File>New, or pressing Ctrl+N.

Now that we have made a new program, we should save it. To save your program click the save button on the top left, do File>Save, or Ctrl+S. Make sure to choose a name for your program.
Now that it's saved, we can close our program. To close the program click the small red X in the top right corner, do File>Close, or Ctrl+W.
And finally, when you want to open your projects again later, you can use the Open button in the top left, do File>Open, or Ctrl+O. You can also use Open recent program however this will only show a few of your programs, not all of them.
It is good to note that you can open up more than one project at a time. To switch between them, use the tabs along the top of the window. The tabs will be labelled with the name of your program.
