Summary: Dense and useful, but a touch over the edge
Comment: The author cuts to the chase, confronting an annoying "feature" of Windows and handing out specific information about tweaking it for the better. This isn't one of those fluffy "Tips for Using Windows that You'd Know if You'd Just Read the Online Help" books. The difference is refreshing.
On the down side, there's too much reliance on editing the registry. Unlike other fixes, registry hacks fall into the "don't try to understand it, just do it" category. But I've resisted such modifications, and I still find the book to be greatly useful. Too bad such a book was needed in the first place!

Summary: One of the true books about Windows 95 for USERS
Comment: I ordered this book in the hope that I could solve a few of the "small" user problems that I had, where I was not prepared to spend hours searching in books with more than a 1,000 sides.
I was not disappointed as I quickly flew through it for the first time. Great stuff, no frills, no fuss, just short sharp solutions for the "Little Bugs" in Windows 95. No long descriptions of how Windows 95 works and why, just practical solutions, to get rid of them BUGS . This is a working book for working people who are not into reading an enclyopedia to find the solution, not for theorists
It has unfortunately one draw back and this applies to the Windows NT side of this book. The problems that appear when using NT are of a different breed from those of Windows 95. The problems and solutions that are described are usually commen to both systems, but not NT specific problems (e.g. "How can I stop NT from copying one network mapping with drive N to several other drive letters i.e. N O P Q ..- Z", "How do I stop printer confirmation dialogs after the printer has printed my documents ?" etcetera, etcetera. ). I hope that the next addtion also includes larger NT percentage.
Looking forward to the next addtition !!

Summary: Outstanding book with lots of useful solutions and tips!
Comment: This book is an outstanding reference for all sorts of Windows tricks. I have utilized many recommendations in it with much success including using a batch file to clear the Documents menu as well as streamlining the dial-up networking process. I recommend this book as a definite must have desktop reference for all windows users beginner to advanced.
