Coverage includes: In The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Microsoft® Windows® Vista, readers will find: ¨ How to use the new tools that let you see what your files contain without opening them, find applications and files instantly, navigate efficiently among open windows, and use wizards and dialog boxes more confidently. ¨ How to use and get the most out the new tab feature in Windows Explorer. ¨ How to use the Windows firewall. ¨ How to use Windows Backup and another new and related feature, Volume Shadow Copy (which was first introduced with the Windows Server product family and is now available for PCs), for backup and restore protection. ¨ How to use Windows Sidebar, which provides instant access to a wide variety of customizable mini-applications that offer information at a glance and provides easy access to frequently used tools.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy Vista, 17 Jul 2009
By Clifford Blunt (Somerset, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is easy to read and is well referenced. It made my enforced switch to Vista (resulting from a major computer crash)from Windows XP almost a pleasure!
Most of the help I needed was easily found and now I am used to the program I am a much happier bunny. This idiot is no longer an idiot.
