Windows Vista Secrets

0.0

Windows Vista Secrets reveals features of the new operating system that are not disclosed in Microsoft’s books or help files and are not contained in other competing works. By tapping the extensive network of Windows beta testers and conducting their own experiments on the new OS, the authors develop page after page of information that is essential to power users of Windows, but is not available elsewhere. The book does not include any obvious topics, such as listing the choices that happen to be on each menu in the various Windows applets. Windows Vista Secrets include numerous tips, tricks, and undocumented features, with extensive screen shots, tables, and illustrations. This book is for anyone who uses Windows Vista and wants to be able to control it rather than being controlled by it! There is no filler in the book, just little known information that a reader can put to work instantly!
