3.0 out of 5 stars How To Use Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, February 19, 2002

By	Sheri Ann Richerson "ExoticGardening.com" (Marion, IN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an interesting book on Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional that certainly covered the basics of using this software program. This would be an excellent guide for a first time computer user or for someone who was not real computer savvy.

This guide has step-by-step full color pictures that will help you to understand what the book is explaining. I feel the photos are a real plus to the book.

There is also a section on ?how-to tips? that offer some pretty interesting advice, such as how to lock your workstation or how to make a folder unavailable.

Windows 2000 Professional is a software program all of its own, quite unlike Windows ME or 98. There is much to learn in order to successfully operate this system. This book does a good job of covering many of those aspects.

This is a reference book that I would suggest you have on your shelf if you are running Windows 2000 Professional Edition, especially if you are new to computers.
