Dean Andrews (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 14, 1998

Windows 98 Hints & Hacks instantly rewards you by increasing your productivity and satisfaction with Windows 98. Every hint and hack provides real value-- not just a list of obvious items listed as though they were some kind of secret. Windows 98 Hints & Hacks will be divided into several categories: Part 1: Look and Feel Here allows you to control every aspect of your system's appearance and properties. Part 2: Productivity Hints and hacks let you get more work (or play!) done with less effort. Part 3: System Performance How to get the most performance from every application, routine, or procedure. Part 4: Administration provides hints and hacks for users who are in charge of supporting other users (or who just seem to the one people come to with questions).

I really like this helpful/hintful book. Many books of this type are arcane in nature or full of *hints* that most everybody knows by now. However, this book is worth twice the price. This well written and organized book lets you be creative with Windows 9x, but, helps trouble shoot as well.

This is an incredible book. I have a gateway with XP home edition now but, with this book I turned my sorry Compaq with 98SE on it into an actuall computer. I cant say enough about this book. If you have windows 98 and you want it a lot better, buy this book.
