A Very Comprehensive 'HowTo' for experienced XP Power Users

If you are a complete XP novice, get familiar with XP before trying these techniques. They are not difficult, but you need to be at least familiar with XP. This book offers a wide variety of important, but hard to find, techniques that are indispensible to XP Power Users. Keith Underdahl takes you through many techniques to accomplish incredible feats of control and configuration using a step-by-step instruction method that is very easy to follow. This book covers everything from installing and booting multiple Operating Systems, calibrating battery percentage (on notebooks), Managing, protecting and customising nearly every XP feature and interface, and enhancing the power of the system with free add-ons and easy user adjustments, tweaks, and techniques - Keith even covers how to make home movies on your PC! This book is a "must have" for every XP power user. As a Developer, I've got dozens of books on XP tweaks, tricks, and technical magic - but none of them have this much immediately useable information, or contain as many useful Power-User techniques. This is my all-time favorite XP Power User book.

There's lots more you can do with XP than meets the eye!

I'm no expert with computers or Windows XP, but after reading this book I feel like I'm getting there. The techniques described are truly fast and useful. I don't have much time for reading, so I go through one or two new techniques each morning. This has been time well spent, and has made me much more efficient on my PC.
