Windows ME - The Missing Manual by Kathy Ivens

Windows ME - The Missing Manual by Kathy Ivens

This text, the successor to Windows 98, comes with many new features. They include: a home-networking Wizard; Movie Maker, for creating digital sounds and movies; and self-healing, self-updating software components. Here, David Pogue offers an authoritative user's guide for this popular operating system. The book begins at the beginning: with a tour of the Desktop, the enhanced Start menu, and instructions for customizing the Taskbar and toolbars. There's a special focus on organizing files, folders, and windows for maximum efficiency and minimum clutter. More advanced chapters explore each control panel and built-in application; walk readers through every conceivable kind of configuration (for Internet use, for peripheral equipment, and so on); and guide them in setting up a small network including how to share a single Internet connection among several PCs. The book even shows readers how to listen to live radio, or watch live TV, from all over the world, via the Internet. Special appendixes also cover more technical ground including: the various DOS applications that govern the startup and shutdown process and instructions for installing and updating Windows.

David Pogue, a Yale grad and former Broadway conductor, writes the Computer Press Association award-winning back-page column for Macworld magazine. He's the author or coauthor of 15 computer, humor, and music books, including PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide, Mac for Dummies, Opera for Dummies, Classical Music for Dummies, Magic for Dummies, Macworld Mac Secrets, Hard Drive (a novel), The Microsloth Joke Book, and Tales from the Tech Line. Mia Farrow, Carly Simon, Harry Connick, Jr., and Stephen Sondheim are among his computer students. He's a frequent presenter at the Palm Computing booth at national trade shows.
