Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Wyatt opens this book much like a user guide, explaining the purpose of the Taskbar and detailing such pedestrian tasks as moving and copying files. He quickly moves on to more advanced issues, such as installing input and output devices. The majority of Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Bible, however, is devoted to really hard-core geek stuff. Wyatt gives a clear, if cursory, explanation of the Windows NT Registry. He also delves into advanced data-protection schemes, including RAID-array data striping. Network communications, both hard-wired and dial-up, get excellent treatment. Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Bible wraps up with a section on security that includes an in-depth discussion of how (both technically and philosophically) to assign rights. The bundled CD-ROM, which is packed with toys, includes everything from a grep-like search-and-replace program with a graphical interface to cool games. Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Bible is an excellent guide for NT power users. It's especially well-suited to those coming from older versions of NT who aren't familiar with the Windows 95 interface.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good for new users, but not truly up to Bible standard,
By Trevor R Shepherd (shepta@caribsurf.com) (Barbados, West Indies) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Windows Nt Workstation 4.0 Bible (Secrets) (Paperback)
Wyatt provides a good to very good introduction to the basics of configuring NT Workstation. If you are completely new to Windows, this is a good place to begin. However it purports to be a bible on Windows NT, and it simply is not up to this pitch. I was disappointed for the following reasons: 1) It does not include ANY data on installing NT. 2) Much of the book is spent on information that the average Windows 95 user already knows - such as how to manage disks, files, printing, etc - truly mundane stuff. 3) The chapters on networking are simply too brief and superficial. Too many times one sees the phrase "(such and such..) is beyond the scope of this book". For a "bible" this is a great let down. 4) On critical issues the book is silent and many of the choices in NT are not fully enough explained to the user for him to make sense of various options. Instead one is told to contact one's system or network manager. This hardly helps when one IS that manager! What would make this a true bible on NT is a greatly expanded chapter or chapters on NT networking, including a full description and comparison of the various protocols, services etc. Appendices could be added for deeper technical stuff instead of declaring subjects to be beyond the scope of the book. All in all, I think "Using Windows NT..." by QUE is a better manual.
