Windows XP Killer Tips


by Kleber Stephenson

If youÕre one of those people who picks up a book, and youÕre immediately drawn to the sidebar tips (you know, those great little tips that appear in boxes on the side, or bottom of a page) then youÕre absolutely going to love this latest book in the bestselling "Killer Tips" series. ThatÕs because itÕs packed cover-to-cover, wall-to-wall with nothing but those cool Windows XP sidebar tips.
      OK, why a book of nothing but tips? Because thatÕs where all the really slick, really fun stuff is. ItÕs true! If weÕre looking through a book and we see the word "Tip" weÕre all immediately drawn to it, because we know weÕre about to learn something great. Maybe itÕs an undocumented keyboard shortcut, a hidden inside secret, or just a faster, better way to do something. The only problem with the tips in these books is, there are never enough of 'em. That is, until now.
      Not only is this book packed cover-co-cover with nothing but those tips, we added something the little sidebar tips usually donÕt have: graphics. ThatÕs right, every tip in the entire book has a full-color graphic to make the tips even more accessible, even more fun, and even easier to use. Best of all thereÕs absolutely no long paragraphs explaining the encryption file system. No detailed descriptions of how to configure a network, or long boring discussions of Command Line techno-babble. ItÕs just tips: short, sweet, and to the point. Most importantly, to get in this book, theyÕve got to be "Killer Tips." To be a "Killer Tip" it has to be the kind of tip that makes you smile, nod, and become overcome with the irresistible urge to call all your friends and smugly gloat because now you sound like the ultimate XP guru (and as you probably already know: he who dies with the most tips wins!).
