 Strictly for beginners. May 31, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The cover uses words like "In-Depth" and "Reference", it's anything but. This is a very introductory book for people with little experience in Win 95/98, since the first half covers little more than the Windows Explorer interface and routine tasks common to 95/98. The second half is of some use to people with no NT experience, but even that is likely to leave you wanting. If you already have a good grasp of Win95, or 98, then look elsewhere - don't be fooled by it's 750 page size either.

Good for basic knowledge (so are other books). I was looking for something dealing more with actual installation and maintaining, this did not help with that. I wasted my money. Don't do the same.
 Excellent introductory text on NT. June 10, 1998

The book is targetted towards users and system adminisrators. Experienced Programmers who are more used to other environments (like Unix), will find this book extremely useful also. The book has good chapters on customizing your desktop. (Example: customizing the Command Prompt program). The explanation used is very clear, with lots of diagrams/figures to explain what's going on. However, at times, there seems to be a repitition of explanation. (For example: if an explanation applies to a file and a folder, then instead of having one explanation, we at times, get two explanations --- seems redundant to me).I did like the book a lot. Although you can figure out everything explained in this book on your own, by just playing around with NT for a while. But, I wanted to know what tools NT provides, and did not want the trial and error approach. This book serves the purpose of telling you what tools are available and how to use them.
