Product Description
Product Description
Windows Annoyances, a comprehensive resource for intermediate to advanced users of Windows 95 and NT 4.0, details step-by-step how to customize your Win95/NT operating systems through an extensive collection of tips, tricks, and workarounds.
Learn how to customize every aspect of your Win95/NT system, far beyond the intentions of Microsoft. Programmers and network administrators will appreciate the information in this book. Even advanced users will find it intriguing. All of the extensive details have been laid out in a simple, direct format that intermediate to advanced users can follow with ease.
Features that can be found in both Win95 and WinNT 4.0 are covered:
- Customize your PC by learning methods of backing up, repairing, compressing, and transferring portions of the Registry.
- For Win95 users, discover how Plug and Play, the technology that makes Win95 so compatible, can save you time and improve the way you interact with your computer.
- Explore an exhaustive collection of tips and tricks for customizing the new interface of Win95/NT.
- Learn how to benefit from the new 32-bit software and hardware drivers that support such features as improved multitasking and long filenames.
You will also find topics ranging from useful keyboard shortcuts to ways you can format floppies faster, more reliably, and with greater capacity. Networking in Win95/NT is an issue for many users, but this book covers in detail everything from dialing into the Internet to connecting two computers across a peer-to-peer network! This book even provides instructions for capatilizing on security and multiple-user settings for Win95 and WinNT. You will also discover ways of acquiring and using third-party software and utilities to tackle some of the more complex workarounds, requiring a minimum investment in both time and money. Windows Annoyances not only shows you step-by-step how to personally customize your Win95/NT operating systems, it provides you with the ability to troubleshoot common problems, thus giving you immense control over the operating system.
(Note: This book is not replaced by Windows 98 Annoyances. O'Reilly will be providing ongoing marketing support for both volumes.

One of the true books about Windows 95 for USERS,
By A Customer
This review is from: Windows Annoyances (Nutshell Handbook) (Paperback)
I ordered this book in the hope that I could solve a few of the "small" user problems that I had, where I was not prepared to spend hours searching in books with more than a 1,000 sides.I was not disappointed as I quickly flew through it for the first time. Great stuff, no frills, no fuss, just short sharp solutions for the "Little Bugs" in Windows 95. No long descriptions of how Windows 95 works and why, just practical solutions, to get rid of them BUGS . This is a working book for working people who are not into reading an enclyopedia to find the solution, not for theorists It has unfortunately one draw back and this applies to the Windows NT side of this book. The problems that appear when using NT are of a different breed from those of Windows 95. The problems and solutions that are described are usually commen to both systems, but not NT specific problems (e.g. "How can I stop NT from copying one network mapping with drive N to several other drive letters i.e. N O P Q ..- Z", "How do I stop printer confirmation dialogs after the printer has printed my documents ?" etcetera, etcetera. ). I hope that the next addtion also includes larger NT percentage. Looking forward to the next addtition !!

Good Attempt. Make it better!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Windows Annoyances (Nutshell Handbook) (Paperback)
This is a very good attempt. There was a latent demand for such kind of book. I congratualate the author and publisher for this book. No Windows book in the world is perfect, so is this one. I think this book should contain some more practical examples and some of the steps to roll back to last setting, if something does not work. Thanks for giving me a Windows Treasure!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding book with lots of useful solutions and tips!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Windows Annoyances (Nutshell Handbook) (Paperback)
This book is an outstanding reference for all sorts of Windows tricks. I have utilized many recommendations in it with much success including using a batch file to clear the Documents menu as well as streamlining the dial-up networking process. I recommend this book as a definite must have desktop reference for all windows users beginner to advanced.
