Windows XP For Dummies [EPUB ebook] 

Windows is the world’s most popular operating system, and
Windows For Dummies is the bestselling computer book ever.
When you look at Windows XP For Dummies, 2nd
Edition, it’s easy to see why. Here’s all the stuff
you want to know, served up in plain English and seasoned with a
few chuckles. But make no mistake, this book means business.
Author Andy Rathbone listened to what you wanted to know, and
this edition is loaded with additional information about
* E-mail, faxing, and troubleshooting
* Maximizing security features
* Customizing and upgrading Windows XP
* Multimedia applications–CDs, digital music and photos,
video, and more
* Answers to questions asked by thousands of Windows users
If you’re just getting started with Windows XP,
you’ll find Windows XP For Dummies, 2nd
Edition is a lot easier than trying to get the fourth-grader
next door to explain it to you. (Andy Rathbone is a lot more
patient.) There’s a whole section devoted to ’Windows
XP Stuff Everybody Thinks You Already Know, ’ so you can get
the hang of the basics quickly and in the privacy of your own home.
And if you’ve been around a couple of generations of Windows,
you’ll be especially interested in how to squeeze maximum
security from the beefed-up anti-spam and firewall features in
Service Pack 2.
Windows XP For Dummies, 2nd Edition is sort of
like a buffet–you can sample everything, or just stick with
the stuff you know you like. You’ll find out how to
* Locate programs and files, organize your information, and fax,
scan, or print documents
* Get online safely, send and receive e-mail, work with Internet
Explorer’s security toolbar, and steer clear of pop-ups,
viruses, and spam
* Make Windows XP work the way you want it to, share your
computer while maintaining your privacy, set up a network, and
perform routine maintenance
* Transfer and organize pictures from your digital camera, edit
digital video, and create custom CDs of your favorite tunes
* Use Windows XP’s troubleshooting wizards and become your
own computer doctor
With its task-oriented table of contents and tear-out cheat
sheet, Windows XP For Dummies, 2nd Edition is
easy to use. You can quickly find what you want to know, and you
just may discover that this book is as important to your computer
as the power cord.
