Book Description

April 4, 2003

Microsoft Windows XP Power Pack is geared for the Windows XP working professional or hardcore consumer who is looking to squeeze every last drop of performance from XP Professional. While some basic XP features are covered, that coverage is brief and designed to get you up-to-speed quickly with user interface changes between XP and the version you're currently using. With this book you will manage your Windows XP system efficiently; optimize and fine-tune using native XP tools; network your XP computer with other local computers or across the Internet; edit and repair the XP Registry; and script and automate everyday tasks.

The CD contains a full, licensed version of AutoPilot, as well as free trials of a variety of system administration tools from Sunbelt Software, including mirroring software, event logging apps, scripted logon management tools, user management add-ons and more.

From the Back Cover

Microsoft Windows XP Power Toolkit is geared for the Windows XP working professional or hardcore consumer who is looking to squeeze every last drop of performance from XP Professional. While some basic XP features are covered, said coverage is brief and designed to get a busy administrator up-to-speed quickly with user interface changes between XP and the platform from which they are migrating (NT, 2000, etc.). The CD provides a host of retail third-party applications designed for the XP administrator. Previous editions of this book have helped thousands of XP users become power users, including Windows NT Power Toolkit, which reached No. 4 on Amazon's bestseller list the first week it was released and Windows 2000 Power Toolkit, which also cracked the Amazon Top 10.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book For Technical Backgound, April 22, 2003
By 
This review is from: Microsoft Windows XP Power Pack (Paperback)
I know it wasn't the best thing to do on a beautiful Easter
afternoon, but I had a wonderful time yesterday browsing
through this new book, "The WinXP Power Pack". Its fantastic!
It is really going to help me in my support of XP. I also
installed the trial version of "I Hate Spam" and ended up
buying a license the next day for my home system.

1.0 out of 5 stars Totally Useless, April 20, 2003
By 
Marcia A. Newkirk (Boyne City, MI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft Windows XP Power Pack (Paperback)
I had expected a lot from this book, but it failed to deliver. Like many books on Windows it is too caught up in describing what everthing is without providing any examples of how to use the things described. I have been running Window XP/Pro since it's release and found this book unable to help me with a single issue that had been bugging me. It wasn't useful for performance tuning or networking help. If you want a description of what everyhing is, then this is for you. If you want to actually accomplish something and use the tools then you will have to look elsewhere.
