The most widely used operating system in the world, XP is certainly the most reliable and best-looking version of Windows. But it comes with a baffling multitude of features and functionality that you'll struggle to understand--despite all of the hours you've logged with Windows 2000, Windows Me, 98 or 95. And if you're a beginner, where do you start?
Windows XP Personal Trainer enables beginners and experts alike to become black belts, quickly and easily. This fully illustrated book takes a modular approach to learning, allowing you to start with the fundamentals and work your way to advance topics through dozens of task-oriented lessons--at your own pace. The companion CD tutorial guides you through each lesson interactively.
With plenty of detailed diagrams, Windows XP Personal Trainer includes sections on:
- Working with Windows
- Using the programs included with Windows XP (such as Media Player)
- Organizing files and folders
- Modifying the taskbar and desktop
- Customizing Windows XP
- Optimizing and maintaining the operating system
- Exploring the Internet
