Reader Reviews
This review is from: PC Magazine Windows XP Solutions (Paperback)
I've had the book for a couple of weeks now, and I keep learning new tricks. Most recently the book taught me how to create screen capture movies that I can e-mail to others. I'm using this trick mostly to create "here's how you do this" videos for my parents, which is a lot easier than trying to talk them through the computer challenge du jour over the phone. Probably the next most useful sections of the book for me have been the parts covering User Profile managment. I've never found those tasks to be intuitive in WinXP, and the book does a great job of showing me how I can finally get some benefit out of Profiles, rather than the headaches they've been giving me since I got WinXP. The book has other chapters on these topics, too: *Working With Digital Cameras *Making Videos *Recording & Ripping Music *Remote Control of Windows XP via the internet *Using Windows XP as an Internet Server Plus, of course, chapters on security, backups, installing hardware/software, and the other sorts of topics you'd expect from PC Magazine.
