Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Microsoft Windows XP for Home Users looks inside the candy shell of Windows XP Home Edition, providing readers with all the information they need to use their computers productively and enjoyably. Jim Louderback doesn't, unfortunately, explain how to use the Microsoft Office suite or any other popular applications, but he does a good job of showing how Windows XP itself works. In other words, you get full coverage of most of the software that ships with the operating system, including Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, Windows Media Player, and Messenger.

Louderback's coverage gets straight to the point and generally assumes that features will work as advertised. In explaining some elements of the operating system, he typically provides a quick background briefing (one on the relative strengths of different kinds of broadband Internet access is typical) then gets into procedures that explain how to carry out typical tasks. These procedures could be better illustrated, as novices usually appreciate visual confirmation that they're doing things right. A chapter on troubleshooting explains Safe Mode and the System Restore utility in a comfortable way. --David Wall

Topics covered: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition for people who aren't familiar (or very comfortable) with it. Everything a home user would typically want to do with the operating system itself (that is, not with subsequently installed applications) is covered, including sending e-mail, surfing the Web, managing files, and using peripherals such as printers and digital cameras.

Product Description

TechTV's Microsoft Windows XP for Home Users is written in a lighthearted and conversational style but at the core is clear, practical information. This book shows readers how to customize and configure their systems, how to prevent and fix problems, how to add hardware and software, and how to have fun with Windows XP by exploring its many features. The entertaining style makes it fun to read, but readers will come away feeling as if the have learned a lot, too. It is assumed that most readers will have this software, although someone might buy the book as an introduction to Windows XP before upgrading from an earlier version. This book focuses almost exclusively on Windows XP and how earlier versions worked differently.
