And it is written and organized in a unique random-access format that makes all these nuggets of information or advice instantly and easily accessible.Written by the well-known author of Windows Hacks, Windows XP in a Snap reveals the most important tasks, techniques, and tips for everything from customizing and enhancing a Windows XP system, to stopping spam and viruses, to setting up and troubleshooting a home wireless network.
