4.0 out of 5 stars Windows Me for DUMMIES, April 19, 2001

By	NicRic "rosierain" (S.F. Bay area) - See all my reviews

Even though I did alot of reading in Windows Me Help & Support,I still found myself having trouble with some windows tasks I wanted to perform ! The nice thing about this book is you look in the index for the task you are having a problem with and you go right to it. Instead of having to guess which section to read in the Windows help. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because on some things they kind of skim over to fast! Of course I guess you should expect that from a reference book.
