Maran 2001 [pounds sterling]24.99 ISBN 0-7645-3619-2 A Mara Graphics book in the style that we like. Full of colour and plenty of explanations. Intended as a training guide, we prefer to view the book on this basis: No-one uses all the facilities in Windows XP. When you want to do something that you are not familiar with pick up this book and follow it through. It seems as good as (or better) than having someone talk you through a particular procedure. 14.3.02 5370 Windows XP Secrets Simmons, Curt Hungry Minds ISBN 0-7645-4852-2 2002 [pounds sterling]29.99 The points made in this book are not so much secrets as second level settings. Menu items buried quite deep or on a button in a dialogue box. Besides mentioning the secrets the author describes how to, and how not to, use them. The front cover says that the book includes undocumented features although we did not find any. Nevertheless there is a lot in this book that a user will not be able to readily understand with the full and specific explanations given there. 14-3-02 5371 Alan Simpson's Windows XP Bible Simpson, Alan with Underdahl, Brian Hungry Minds ISBN 0-7645-4860-3 2001 [pounds sterling]29.99 The "Bible" series is an everything within.

Many toolbars are customizable, letting you add and delete buttons as required. Toolbars may be fixed in position or may float, which means they can be dragged to a more convenient location in the icon or a button in a dialogue box". There is a screen shot and linked test to show the effect of the mouse click. There is little explanatory text. An index takes the reader to particular descriptions but you do need to know what the functions are called to find what you want in the index. 14.3.02 5376 EMC (1) (EMC Corporation, Hopkinton, MA, www.emc.com) The leading supplier of storage products for midrange computers and mainframes.
