"Cool excellent" according to Tony Sierra. Excellent book cool. S. R. Schnur said Good reference book. Some books about XP only tell a reader things he has probably figured out on his own, but this book will actually take you to the registry to fix problems. For this reason it is worth a good review. I only wish that the registry introduction were a tad more step by step.. Great information Nancy W If you want some really good information on Windows XP and hacks, this is the book. You have to be really interested in doing this kind of thing as it is not for a user, but an indepth computer person.
