 Good reference book March 8, 2008

Some books about XP only tell a reader things he has probably figured out on his own, but this book will actually take you to the registry to fix problems. For this reason it is worth a good review. I only wish that the registry introduction were a tad more step by step.

If you want some really good information on Windows XP and hacks, this is the book. You have to be really interested in doing this kind of thing as it is not for a user, but an indepth computer person.

I thought this book was great. I'm an intermediate level user with XP using it every day and this book is just outstanding, even just for speeding up the star up for my computer.

Not all is useful to me - but what I didn't need might be useful to you.

This isn't a book for anybody just learning how to use a computer. If you know your stuff then this book can be very helpful in getting the most out of your Windows XP Operating System. If an individual is in the market for a computer and reading this review I HIGHLY recommend that you get a computer without a Windows OS. This is especially true if you plan on doing online banking and/or shopping. Windows is the WORST OS system out there when it comes to security. I have an old e-machine, that has windows xp, which I use every now and then. That is why I own this book, but I also own a Mac. Purchase a Mac or if you really want to get serious, get something based on Linux.
