Whether you're using the Home or Professional edition of XP, you'll find step-by-step instructions and plenty of screenshots that guide you through XP's new and updated features, including the updated desktop and the improved versions of Internet Explorer, Mail, Live Messenger, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, and Media Player. You'll also find information on setup; installation; upgrading from other Windows versions: troubleshooting; hardware; and organizing you documents, music photos, and videos. Laptop and mobile users will learn how to connect from the road, jump onto a public wireless network, and conserve battery power. The author also walks you through setting up a network, connecting to the internet, configuring routers and firewalls, and hooking up printers and other devices.
