Windows XP Pocket Reference [Karp, David A.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Windows XP Pocket Reference

Review: When your online reference is unavailable - O'Reilly Pocket Guides to the rescue! - If you've read my other computer book reviews, O'Reilly books are the gold-standard in my eyes. These pocket references filled the niche created by their "In a Nutshell" series. Back in the 1990s, the Nutshell books were "only" $15 - now most hover over $20. These pocket reference books are priced around $10, and hold enough to keep its utility as a bare-bones reference. The section that made it worth the cost was "Registry Tweaks." Quick instructions to disable or enable cool features on your system, allow you to better use system resources (e.g. making the Desktop icons disappear). Naysayers will state "You can find this stuff on the 'Net! Save the bucks!" Okay, true... but what happens when the system is not connected to the network, or your "online" reference is unavailable. O'Reilly books to the rescue! Don't mistake "bare-bones," as cheap or lacking coverage. If you're a power Windows XP user, there are plenty of features you may not use on a regular basis or even be aware of. Windows XP may have been superseded by Microsoft, but enough users will continue with it on their systems. This book is worth the low price.
Review: If you need it, this is a good one. - Neat and concise, but now obsolete.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Simple but effective!

It's a simple book with the main reference in most common tasks. It's simply orientative, and it's ok for the most of the Windows users.
