About this title

Synopsis

This superbly written book uses wit, technical insight and scrupulous objectivity to shed light on Microsoft's newest and most reliable operating system. Windows XP Pro: The Missing Manual isn't for system administrators or OS theory geeks; it's for the novice or budding power user who wants to master XP Pro and get down to work. Coauthored by David Pogue, New York Times technology columnist and Missing Manuals creator, the book reveals which XP features work well and which don't, such as the Remote Desktop software that enables people to connect to the office from home or the road, the encryption file system that protects sensitive information, and the Windows Messenger that enables real-time text, voice and video communication. The book also helps you reduce window clutter, tame the multi-column Start menu, and set up your own small-office (peer-to-peer) network. Anyone who uses XP Pro will find this new system much easier -- and more fun -- to digest with Windows XP Pro: The Missing Manual. This is the crystal-clear, jargon-free book that should have been in the box.
