| The most widely used operating system in the world, XP is
certainly the most reliable and best-looking version of
Windows. But it comes with a baffling multitude of features
and functionality that you'll struggle to
understand--despite all of the hours you've logged with
Windows 2000, Windows Me, 98 or 95. And if you're a
beginner, where do you start?
Windows XP Personal Trainer enables beginners and experts
alike to become black belts, quickly and easily. This fully
illustrated book takes a modular approach to learning,
allowing you to start with the fundamentals and work your
way to advance topics through dozens of task-oriented
lessons--at your own pace. The companion CD tutorial guides
you through each lesson interactively.
With plenty of detailed diagrams, Windows XP Personal
Trainer includes sections on:
Working with Windows
Using the programs included with Windows XP (such as Media
Player)
Organizing files and folders
Modifying the taskbar and desktop
Customizing Windows XP
Optimizing and maintaining the operating system
Exploring the Internet
Networking with Windows XP
If you already have experience with Windows XP, you can dive
right into those topics (and only those topics) that you
need or want to learn. Unlike many consumer software
tutorials that dumb down the material or present it in a
confusing fashion, Windows XP Personal Trainer is written in
a non-technical and engaging style that you will find fun,
easy, and most of all, clear and informative. You can become
proficient without wading through tons of jargon and
technical information.
Part of our new Personal Trainer Series, this book is based
on content from CustomGuide (www.customguide.com), a leading
provider of computer training materials. Founded by
instructors who grew dissatisfied with the industry's dry
course materials, CustomGuide offers courseware (for
instructors and students), quick references, to software
bulletins and e-learning courses that are fun, flexible, and
easy to use.
