Windows XP Pro Missing Manual
David Pogue, Craig Zacker, L.J. Zacker
Résumé
Windows XP is the latest, most reliable, and
best-looking version of the world's most widely used
operating system, combining the extremely stable engine of
Windows NT and 2000 with the user-friendliness of the
Windows 98 and Me consumer models. In its first year, XP
became the fastest-selling Windows OS ever. But one major
failing remains unaddressed: XP Pro 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 PC fans. 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 lutter, 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. This is the crystal-clear, jargon-free book that should have been in the box.
