"The new Windows Vista is packed with what you need to get the most out of your new computer, and my new Bible tells you where to find it all. I'll show you how to set up e-mail, join your favorite online groups, set parental controls—even make your own CDs and DVDs. And you'll love the powerful new Windows Vista Search feature. You can find messages, files—everything—without navigating through a bunch of folders."

Reader Reviews
Borrowed this book for assistance in transferring and setting up 4,000+ photos from Windows XP into numerous folders. The directions by Simpson given did provide what appear to be the promised results - an invaluable contribution. Next, I tried using the book to set up a screen-saver using my photos. The dialog box referenced in the book did not exist - no help at all. Have since returned the book; I'm thinking 50% assistance is not that good. Comment (1) | | (Report this)
