From the Back Cover

If you can figure out how to launch programs and print files from Windows 95, this book is for you. This is not the all-encompassing guide to Windows 95, from Start Up to Shut Down. But it will make you a Windows 95 expert. Written in a question and answer format that makes it easy to pick out the topics that interest you, you'll find clear, pithy answers to questions like these: How do I upgrade without Windows 3.1 installed and get rid of all my Windows 3.1 files? (Chapter 2); How do I unclutter my desktop? (Chapter 3); How do I manage long file names? (Chapter 4); How do I make my hardware work with Windows 95? (Chapter 5); How do I set up and automate my Internet connections? (Chapter 6); How do I use Exchange with my other E-mail services, and how do I use Microsoft Fax? (Chapter 7); What should I do with config.sys and autoexec.bat? (Chapter 8); How do I manage memory under Windows 95 and run DOS programs? (Chapter 8); How do I connect my laptop and desktop computers and synchronize files? (Chapter 9); How can I tweak the Registry safely? (Chapter 10); Where can I get free updates and add-ons, and which ones are worth downloading?
