If you switch Guide Me off, you'll be able to see the entire layout and options available. Amongst the type of tasks you can choose from are Create Sales Receipts, Enter Bills, Write Checks and View Finance Charges. Guide Me is activated by default meaning when you click on a section - such as Enter Bills - a dialog on the right hand side pops up helping you along. After this the program's main interface opens - but don't be overwhelmed - it tries to help you by highlighting the key areas it thinks are appropriate using the Guide Me switch which is located in the top right corner. When you install QuickBooks Pro and choose to setup a New Account, you are taken through a setup wizard which first requests your tax registration details and a category for your area of business.
