OverviewThis course begins with the basics of Windows XP and proceeds through desktop administration, file management, exploring the Internet, and even includes opportunities for the reader to use some accessories new to XP. The book's mission is to guide the reader using both text and hands-on exercises into a basic comprehension of how Windows XP works at the desktop level. In addition to offering a fairly intense introduction into the everyday workings of Windows XP, the text also contains dozens of tips and warnings that are useful on an everyday basis. Anyone who has used a previous version of the Windows operating system should find that this book quickly brings them up-to-date on the enhancements to the software. By reading the headings in each session, they will be able to read the areas and work through the exercises in which they lack experience, or can receive more formal training by working through the entire book.
