Not what it seems 2 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
The title sounds great but the inside bit is rudimentary. It's the kind of info available within the computer or windows forums.

Ok but, not great 27 Oct 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is nothing more than a owners manual. If you bought a new computer it came with one, read it .... It didnt answer 1 thing I wanted to know. Most of the things in this book I have done and I didnt even read my owners manual. If you were given "just" a computer with XP on it and you knew "nothing" about a computer, this would be an OK book.

Excellent book! 14 July 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is great - not only did it help solve some XP "headaches" of my own, but I learned a bunch of other stuff as well. The book contains headache after headache, tells you why the headache happens, then gives you steps to fix the problem. There are hundreds of headaches and solutions in this book! If you have Windows XP, you should have this book too.

For those who don't have a lot of time to relearn a new Windows program every year. 15 Sep 2007
By Julia M. Owens - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
No big secrets here, but it sure makes it easier to do things with XP than the program help files.
