The Mother Of All Windows Books - we call her MOM - ventures where no Windows book has gone before: into the heart of the beast, to reveal the Hard Windows Facts of Life. MOM shows you how Windows really works - not how its designers thought it should work - and details hundreds of ways to make it work better for you. On your computer. Day in and day out.
Mystified by the "Use Fast Access" check box? Or why your machine locks up unexpectedly? Can't get your sound card to work? Does your modem hate you? Want to make Windows run faster? Want to make Windows run, PERIOD? Need some new hardware? Is it time to get a CD-ROM Drive? MOM steps you through it all, with insight and wit.
It's all here in plain English: the concepts, the practicalities, gotchas and glitches, tricks and advice, plus hundreds of previously undocumented, or worse, incorrectly documented, settings. If you want the straight scoop on Windows - no pulled punches, no warmed-over user's manuals - just ask MOM.
