4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Field Reference, November 11, 2003

By 

Daniel T Presley (Nevada, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A+ Technician's On-the-Job Guide to Windows XP (Paperback)

This book does an very good to excellent job providing guidance for setting up and troubleshooting Windows XP usng the tools the OS provides. One should purchase a more complete reference book as this book does not cover the registry very well as some problems require editing the registry. Overall, this book is what a field tech needs to guide him/her through a very complex OS.
