Résumé

TechTV's Microsoft Windows XP for Home Users is written in a lighthearted and conversational style but at the core is clear, practical information. This book shows readers how to customize and configure their systems, how to prevent and fix problems, how to add hardware and software, and how to have fun with Windows XP by exploring its many features. The entertaining style makes it fun to read, but readers will come away feeling as if the have learned a lot, too. It is assumed that most readers will have this software, although someone might buy the book as an introduction to Windows XP before upgrading from an earlier version. This book focuses almost exclusively on Windows XP and how earlier versions worked differently.
