According to Microsoft, Windows 2000 Pro combines the friendly interface of Windows 98 with the famous stability of Windows NT. Windows 2000, the successor to NT, introduces many technologies that weren't available in NT, including Plug-and-Play, support for USB devices, power management features, and more. It's 25% faster than Windows 98 and three times as stable. Unfortunately, despite all the enhancements, Microsoft forgot to address one of NT's most glaring omissions: Windows 2000 doesn't include a printed user's manual. In Windows 2000 Pro: The Missing Manual, bestselling Windows NT author Sharon Crawford provides the friendly, authoritative book that should have been in the box. It's the ideal (and desperately needed) users' guide for the world's most popular corporate operating system. The book begins at the beginning: with a guide to what's new (for former NT users), a tour of the Desktop, and logging into the network. (Virtually all Windows 2000 users are on a network.) A special focus: organizing files, folders, and windows for maximum efficiency and minimum clutter. Detailed guidance for installing, removing, and troubleshooting new software and hardware comes next.More advanced chapters explore basic networking and Internet survival, including an excellent, step-by-step handbook for setting up a peer-to-peer network without having to hire a consultant, and chapters on configuring and using the Web (Internet Explorer), email (Outlook Express), and the built-in fax software. The final part of the book covers Windows 2000's local-management options: security, user profiles, backing up, and so on--all crowned by a beefy troubleshooting guidebook. Like the other books in the Missing Manual line, Windows 2000 Pro: The Missing Manual offers superb writing, special features for both absolute novices and power users, and offers authoritative, complete coverage of its subject. Windows 2000 Pro doesn't come with a manual-but if it did, Windows 2000 Pro: The Missing Manual would be it.

With the release of Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), Microsoft latest and most reliable corporate desktop operating system now provides better protection against viruses, worms, and malicious hackers. SP2 includes Windows Firewall, Pop-up Blocker for Internet Explorer, and the new Windows Security Center. But it still comes without a single page of printed instructions. This superbly written guide fills the gap. Coauthored by David Pogue, New York Times technology columnist and Missing Manuals creator, Windows XP Pro: The Missing Manual uses wit, technical insight, and scrupulous objectivity to light the way for first-time and intermediate network and standalone PC users. In fact, this jargon-free book explains XP's features so clearly revealing which work well and which don't that it should have been in the box in the first place. The book reveals which features work well and which don't, such as the Remote Desktop software that enables people to connect to the office from home, the encryption file system that protects sensitive information, and the Windows Messenger that enables real-time text, voice and video communication. Contents include: *Getting started.The book's early chapters cover using menus, finding lost files, reducing window clutter, and taming the new, multi-column Start menu. *Mastering the network. Special chapters help you navigate the corporate network, dial in from the road, and even set up your own small-office (peer-to-peer) network, step by step. *Understanding security. User accounts, file encryption, and the NTFS file system keep your private files private, while still offering network access to coworkers you specify. *Flying the Net. This book demystifies Outlook Express 6 for email, Internet Explorer 6 for Web browsing, and the new Windows Messenger for voice, chat, and video conferencing.Windows XP Pro: The Missing Manual isn't for system administrators or OS theory geeks; it's for the novice or budding power user who wants to master the machine and get down to work. Yet, anyone who uses XP Pro (including hardcore techies) will find this new system much easier-- and more fun--to digest with this new Missing Manual.
