Each year, Windows XP is pre-installed on 30 million PCs sold in
the U.S.--and 90 million worldwide--making it the world's most
popular operating system, and proving to frustrated users
everywhere that preponderance does not equate to ease of use. There
are literally thousands of programs, tools, commands, screens,
scripts, buttons, tabs, applets, menus, and settings contained
within Windows XP. And it has only been in the last couple of years
that Microsoft's documentation has actually been more of a help
than a hindrance. But it still isn't enough.
Windows XP users and administrators need a quick and easy way to
find answers. Plenty of books go into detail about the theory
behind a particular technology or application, but few go straight
to the essentials for getting the job done. "Windows XP Cookbook"
does just that, tackling the most common tasks needed to install,
manage, and support Windows XP.
Featuring a new twist to O'Reilly's proven Cookbook formula,
this problem-solving guide offers multiple solutions for each of
its 300-plus recipes. Solve dilemmas with the graphical user
interface, the command line, through the Registry, or by using
scripts. Each step-by-step recipe includes a discussion that
explains how and why it works. The book is also among the first to
cover Microsoft's XP Service Pack 2. With these practical,
on-the-job solutions, "Windows XP Cookbook" will save you hours of
time searching for answers.
"Windows XP Cookbook" will be useful to anyone that has to use,
deploy, administer, or automate Windows XP. But this isn't a
typical end-user book; it covers the spectrum of topics involved
with running Windows XP in both small and largeenvironments. As a
result, IT professionals and system administrators will find it a
great day-to-day reference. And power users will find "Windows XP
Cookbook" a great source for information on tweaking XP and getting
the most out of their systems. The bottom line is that "Windows XP
Cookbook" will make just about anyone who uses XP more
productive.
