Editorial Reviews
Windows 98 Bible is one of the big guns in the user's arsenal of Windows 98 explanatory books. It explains all the vital aspects of the operating system's use and maintenance and delves quite deeply into the more complicated aspects of Microsoft's flagship product.
Early chapters deal with elementary skills and procedures, such as moving files from one directory to another and switching among programs on the taskbar. (If you need help figuring out these basic procedures, a more elementary book will better serve you.) Readers also get information on customizing the appearance of Windows 98, including those traits that are part of the Active Desktop.
Quickly, author Alan Simpson moves on from the simple stuff and explains the way Windows 98 deals with hardware. Refreshingly, he's not totally reliant on wizards and automated routines; he explains how to edit configuration files by hand where appropriate.
Simpson explores multimedia, including Enhanced TV and digital video discs (DVDs), in some depth before exploring Windows 98's network orientation. He covers all the key applications, including Outlook Express, Microsoft Internet Explorer, active channels, and the various real-time communications tools. Simpson intelligently details local area networks (LANs), including instructions on creating shared folders and shared hardware resources. Though the information on the Windows Scripting Host is quite thin and isn't very useful to those needing scripting help, power users will appreciate Simpson's attention to the Windows 98 Registry. A companion CD-ROM holds some nifty shareware.
Windows 98 Bible is a strong entry in the field of comprehensive Windows 98 references. This book will make you a happy user. --David Wall
