Every version of Windows can do more…and each new version finds new ways to drive folks bonkers. If you’ve upgraded to Windows XP, you know it’s true. Yeah, XP is full of cool new digital features, but where’d they hide the old controls and settings you’d finally figured out? Sure, XP does practically everything automatically — but what happens when it does that stuff wrong?
What happens is, you get a copy of Windows XP Headaches, by Curt Simmons. Simmons identifies some 300 of XP’s biggest annoyances and shows exactly how to resolve them.
XP is full of nitty little frustrations where that wry old saying applies: It’s not a bug — it’s a feature. “Windows XP keeps putting stuff on the Start menu without my permission.” “Windows Media Player keeps opening automatically when I insert a CD.” “The Desktop Cleanup Wizard keeps running without my permission.” You’d be forgiven for wondering: Whose side is this computer on, anyhow? Simmons puts you back in control.
