About this title

Review

Ron Person and his merry band of Que collaborators have made Special Edition: Using Windows 95 the ideal Windows 95 book for experienced Windows users. This book does yeoman work on all the information you'd expect in a user's book, including instructions on launching programs, managing files, and manipulating windows. But Special Edition: Using Windows 95 excels by giving you detailed information about some of the more exotic--and correspondingly more complicated--features in Windows 95. For example, Person's book gives you networking facts on connecting a computer to a local area network (LAN) and on obscure topics, such as sharing a fax-modem and optimizing Windows 95 to work well with a Novell NetWare network. Fortunately, the thoroughness continues into the dial-up networking information section because you have to configure dial-up networking properly in order to connect to the Internet via a modem.

Special Edition also features extensive problem-solving help. The Troubleshooting sidebars sound like conversations on a technical support line. A typical problem: "I sent a Microsoft Mail message on my workgroup network, but the message wasn't received." The solution: "Make sure that only one Postoffice is installed for your workgroup . . ." This arrangement makes it easy to get quick answers to common hang-ups. Special Edition: Using Windows 95 also comes with a CD-ROM that contains comparative reviews of Windows 95-compatible hardware and software from Windows magazine, the Wintune 95 benchmark program, and 120 shareware programs.
