Windows XP Simplified FROM OUR EDITORS
The Barnes & Noble Review
The next generation of Windows has arrived, with all the fanfare you'd expect -- and quite a few more changes than Windows 98 SE and Windows Me delivered. First, there's the new, spare, blue interface. Next, there are the new apps -- the updated Media Player and instant messaging, the CD burner; digital imaging -- and on, and on. If you're upgrading to Windows XP (or getting a new PC with XP preloaded), you'll want to explore -- but it could take months (or years) to find everything you're looking for. In the meantime, when you need to perform a specific task now, turn to Windows XP Simplified.
This full-color book brings the "patented" MaranGraphics style to Windows XP: friendly, 100 percent accessible full-color graphics on oversize pages; step-by-step instructions; carefully annotated screen shots; logical, task-based organization. No matter how long you've used Windows, it'll help you do a lot more with XP. For example, you'll walk through using the Photo Printing Wizard (want 3x5s? Wallet prints? No sweat.) You'll learn how to share your computer while keeping individual folders private. Even how to call up remote assistance when you're having computer problems. Easy. Quick. Painless. Cool.
