Windows 2000 Professional Companion (Running) Book

Of the raft of early breaking books published to meet the launch of Microsoft Windows 2000, few contain as up-to-the minute details of release version features as Running Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional. Written by Craig Stinson and Carl Siechert (co-authors of Running Microsoft Windows NT Workstation: Version 4.0), this edition caters to users of the entry-level Professional version of Windows 2000 and provides an excellent reference well suited to its target audience.Spread over nine sections and 38 chapters spanning nearly 900 pages, the book covers subjects ranging from managing documents and programs, sharing information and communicating via the internet, to more advanced issues of security, administration, maintenance and optimisation. That said, this is not really a book for the advanced practitioner. But it's ideal for users of a beginner to intermediate level. For those upgrading from NT or migrating from Windows 9x, there is a brief listing of new, renamed and relocated features, with links to more complete details later in the book. There are also appendices specially written for newcomers to Windows.Packaged with the same clear look and feel of other books in the Microsoft Press family, Running Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional is full of hints and tips, screen illustrations and step-by-step instructions to help you quickly master managing the most-used tasks and functions of Microsoft's next generation desktop operating system. --Peter LunnRead More
