⭐ I found this book to be very helpful in getting my computer set up to run faster and safer. I enjoyed Woody’s humor throughout, as I’m not a “technogeek”, and the humor helped to lighten the instructions and echoed a lot of my sentiments when encountering messages or other steps in a process of Windows. I would recommend this book to anyone for its insightful and relevant tips. I bought a copy and sent it to my son to have on hand for his computers.

⭐ I’ve always found Dummies books to be informative and useful resources to keep at deskside if they were written for the more advanced user, which I am. Windows XP Timesaving Techniques for Dummies is the latter sort of book. It is within reach of my computer and I refer to it regularly. An excellent guide for the more advanced XP user.

⭐ Great book with easy to understand instructions. Price is right and can’t be beat for information. Upgrade to Windows 7 after using this book to get your PC ready. Or use your XP – PC in home or small business off-line for work not requiring the Internet.

⭐ I started to refurbish Sony laptops and desktops a few years ago when Windows XP was king. Lots of good information and tips. Since Vista was a bust we learned Windows 7 which is fun and challenging.

⭐ I have found these books to be very informative and useful in learning the system of computers. If you need help it is good.

⭐ NOTHING MORE.

⭐ Good book.Have read better books on XP, but this one is OK.Nothing to write home about.Would not buy again.

⭐ When I purchased this book, I still had Windows XP and found this book to be extremely useful; in fact I still refer back to it on occasions. I also still have one PC that is Windows XP and another more current, Win 7. I must admit, I prefer Windows XP. So if you have some extra money and time to read, this is definitely a good source to have in your library.

⭐ Arrived as expected

⭐ BOUGHT THIS BOOK TO COMPLIMENT THE OTHER BOOKS I HAD. TO SHOWS WAYS TO CUT DOWN THE TIME IT TAKES YOU TO PROCESS ALL THE GARBAGE YOU HAVE RUNNING AROUND IN YOUR BOX. THE TIPS ARE EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND GIVE YOU THE DIRECTION YOU NEED TO KEEP THINGS RUNNING.
