In an ideal world, an operating system would do its job in the
background, while you did yours in the foreground. In reality,
though, operating systems often get in the way, fouling up the
process at the most inopportune times. And Windows XP is no
exception.
O'Reilly's popular series for customizing and troubleshooting
Windows once again comes to the rescue with "Windows XP Annoyances
for Geeks," Offering dozens of on-target tips, workarounds, and
warnings, "Windows XP Annoyances for Geeks" allows users to improve
their overall experience with the Windows XP operating system in
every way possible.
You'll learn how to use the Registry Editor; how to customize
the interface beyond Microsoft's own intentions; and how to master
Windows' built-in networking capabilities, including advanced
technologies such as Internet Connection sharing, Remote Desktop
sharing, and virtual private networking. And now, with this updated
edition, you can also expect detailed coverage of the newly
released Service Pack 2 (SP2) technology.
SP2 is designed to make your work with the Windows XP operating
system even easier and safer by providing superior protection
against viruses, hackers, and worms. Among the core SP2 components
covered in "Windows XP Annoyances for Geeks" are Windows Firewall,
Pop-up Blocker for Internet Explorer, and the new Windows Security
Center.
David Karp, veteran author of several titles in the Windows
Annoyances series, is behind the wheel of this comprehensive guide,
as well. Karp points out numerous SP2-related quirks and
unaccountable behaviors that are guaranteed to increase your level
of perplexity and frustration. By recognizing these shortcomings,
"Windows XPAnnoyances for Geeks" arms you with the knowledge to
overcome them.
Karp leaves no stone unturned in providing the ultimate
resource for the ever-expanding Windows XP market. As a result,
you'll be able to seize complete control of the Windows XP
operating system--instead of the other way around.
