Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The Dummies series is quickly becoming the de facto standard for introductory tutorials and this title is no exception. Internet Explorer 4 for Dummies completely covers IE 4's features and functions with an emphasis on introducing the Internet. The book covers an impressive breadth of information--everything from getting connected to serving up your own Web-based content for the Active Desktop--and is detailed enough to get newcomers started. You'll learn how to use the Web browsing functions of Internet Explorer and all of its component parts, including Outlook Express, Microsoft Chat, the Active Desktop, and FrontPage Express. The author even presents a selection of favorite Web sites to get you started. If IE 4 is your browser of choice and the Internet is still relatively new to you, Internet Explorer 4 for Dummies is one of the best ways to get familiar with both.
