Résumé

With the release of Service Pack 2 (SP2), Windows XP has changed, and so have the ways people use and hack it. Microsoft describes SP2 as one of the most important service packs ever released, because it's "all about security." And so is this new edition of the best-selling Windows XP Hacks, with a new chapter devoted to security and an enhanced focus on security throughout.

Completely revised, updated, and expanded to cover major changes in SP2, this bigger and better edition of Windows XP Hacks is bursting with hacks to bend Windows XP (Home or Pro) to your will. Brand-new hacks show you how to:

Secure your system by enabling the new Windows Firewall, enhancing wireless security, and avoiding new phishing exploits
Solve SP2 upgrade problems and speed up system performance
Surf anonymously, securely, and without ads-and kill pop-ups with the new Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker
Play with new digital media features and formats, including Windows Media Player 10, BitTorrent, iTunes, and Ogg Vorbis
Get the most out of new web software and services, such as Firefox and Gmail
Search your desktop with Google Desktop Search and MSN Desktop Search
Make your PC work like a Mac
Experiment with Linux without installing any software on your PC
Use the new wireless client and stop moochers from stealing your bandwidth
Make phone calls over the Internet with Voice over IP (VoIP) or connect to the Internet -with your Bluetooth phone

Windows XP can be much more than a pretty face. Windows XP Hacks, Second Edition, takes power users beneath the attractive interface, revealing hidden commands and controls, little-known tricks, command-line wizardry, and much more. And if you're not a power user yet, this book will teach you all you need to know to be one.
