Another book in the TRASH
I'm so tired of these books that claim to be the "Best".
Sorry but this was a horrible book for Windows XP.
Almost everything I looked up was not found in this book, (simple things that I found easily in my last XP book, "Headaches in Windows XP" that was a great book, but I lost it) I thought of re-selling this one but couldn't bare the thought of someone else having the same experience w/ it, so I threw it in the trash...literally!

Windows XP Gigabook for Dummies
I bought my book from Amazon.com and am very pleased with it. It was described accurately and was sent to me on time. It is a great resource for XP and is very easy to read and understand. It is a great price for those seeking to learn all about Windows XP. It is definitely a gigabook! As always, I am never disappointed with books that I order from amazon.com. I highly recommend ordering from them and I will continue to order from Amazon.com.
