Review:
Helpful descriptions of what XP SP2 allows you to do
This book contains a series of one or two page descriptions of features found in Windows XP service pack two. While some of them were familiar to me, many were not. Most of them were things that I needed to do, but had not ever gotten around to learning. All were simple, such as how to delete the feature of XP wanting to send a bug report to Microsoft every time the computer crashes. Other features that I found valuable and implemented when I read them were:*) Clearing Autocomplete.
*) Testing the backward compatibility of programs.
*) Disabling pop-up balloons.
*) Stop automatically adding addresses to your address book.
*) Editing the start menu.
*) Customizing explorer.
*) Setting the properties of the recycle bin.
*) Setting the startup options.
None of these operations requires a great deal of technical knowledge, if you can navigate your way through windows and understand basic computer operations, you can make these changes. I found them very helpful; in fact I incorporated a few of them into exercises that I gave my networking students this spring semester.
