This compact and comprehensive book systematically unveils what resolute users of the
new WindowsXP operating system will find interesting and useful, with little-known
details, utility programs, and configuration settings all captured ina consistent reference

A hands-on guide, WindowsXPinaNutshell cuts through the hype and gives practical
details you can use every day. It’s written by David A. Karp, the
best-selling author whose no-nonsense “Annoyances” books and web site

Applications and Tools," containing:
• Detailed information on most of the commands and utilities available with
Windows XP, including Start Menu accessories, command prompt tools, hidden
system administration utilities such as the Registry Editor, Microsoft
Management Console, and TweakUI.
• A comprehensive "Where to Find It?" section designed to give Windows 9x/Me
and Windows NT/2000 users a guide to the XP counterparts to previously
familiar features, plus information on installing and upgrading.
• The Task and Setting Index, which provides users with quick access to locations
of the hundreds of settings inWindows XP, organized alphabetically.
• A complete reference to the command prompt not only covering the basics of
the command line and the different ways to use it, but also the advanced
commands and scripting features at Windows XP's disposal.
Packed with numerous tips and tricks, while warning of potential pitfalls, WindowsXP
in aNutshell enables anyone to get the most out of all the resources available in XP.

Chapter 1 The Lay of the Land In many ways, WindowsXP is a bit of an anachronism On one hand, it is technically only an incremental upgrade to Windows 2000, released only a year earlier On the other hand, it is the first consumer-level operating system based on a powerful and robust platform previously available only to advanced users and network administrators WindowsXP is easily the most technically... hood, WindowsXP has some higher system requirements due to the increased overhead of all the extra bells and whistles While Windows 2000 requires at least a 133-Mhz Pentium-class system with 64 Mb of RAM, WindowsXP needs at least a 300 Mhz Pentium-II processor and 128 Mb of RAM Given the same hardware, WindowsXP should be substantially faster than Windows 2000 Among the areas particularly affected are... distinguish the active window by going to Control Panel Display Appearance Inactive Title Bar Some windows can be configured to be Always on Top This means that they will appear above other windows, even if they don't have the focus Floating toolbars, the Taskbar, and some help screens are common examples If you have two windows that are Always on Top, they behave the same as normal windows, since... 3.x (it was known internally as Windows 4.0), it was a 32-bit operating system with a new interface It was the first step in migrating the enhanced capability of the Windows NT architecture to the more commercially accepted, albeit less capable, DOS-based Windows line Soon thereafter, Windows NT 4.0 was released, which brought the new Windows 95-style interface to the NT line Both of these grand gestures...
