Preface
I admit it—I'm the guy people call when they need answers.
Something doesn't work; my phone rings. Someone can't figure something out; I
get an email. More often than not, the problem can be traced to Microsoft
Windows, a product with which I've developed a healthy love-hate relationship.
Luckily, I've channeled my rage into this book—many of the solutions, tips,
workarounds, and warnings you're about to read are my responses to questions I
get asked every day by inexperienced and seasoned Windows users alike.
I've written this book with the philosophy that the more you
know about a tool you use—specifically, Microsoft Windows XP—the better your
day-to-day experience with it will be. If this contradicts what you've seen in
other books or the Windows manual, you're getting the idea.
