With the release of Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), Microsoft
latest and most reliable corporate desktop operating system now
provides better protection against viruses, worms, and malicious
hackers. SP2 includes Windows Firewall, Pop-up Blocker for Internet
Explorer, and the new Windows Security Center. But it still comes
without a single page of printed instructions.
This superbly written guide fills the gap. Coauthored by David
Pogue, "New York Times" technology columnist and Missing Manuals
creator, "Windows XP Pro: The Missing Manual" uses wit, technical
insight, and scrupulous objectivity to light the way for first-time
and intermediate network and standalone PC users. In fact, this
jargon-free book explains XP's features so clearly revealing which
work well and which don't that it should have been in the box in
the first place.
The book reveals which features work well and which don't, such
as the Remote Desktop software that enables people to connect to
the office from home, the encryption file system that protects
sensitive information, and the Windows Messenger that enables
real-time text, voice and video communication. Contents
include:
Getting started. The book's early chapters cover using menus,
finding lost files, reducing window clutter, and taming the new,
multi-column Start menu.
Mastering the network. Special chapters help you navigate the
corporate network, dial in from the road, and even set up your own
small-office (peer-to-peer) network, step by step.
Understanding security. User accounts, file encryption, and the
NTFS file system keep your private files private, while still
offering network access to coworkers you specify.
Flying the Net.This book demystifies Outlook Express 6 for
email, Internet Explorer 6 for Web browsing, and the new Windows
Messenger for voice, chat, and video conferencing.
"Windows XP Pro: The Missing Manual" isn't for system
administrators or OS theory geeks; it's for the novice or budding
power user who wants to master the machine and get down to work.
Yet, anyone who uses XP Pro (including hardcore techies) will find
this new system much easier-- and more fun--to digest with this new
Missing Manual.
