商品描述
Windows XP is the latest, most reliable, and best-looking version of the
Windows operating system to emerge yet. As the result of the unification of
Microsoft's corporate series (Windows NT and 200) with the home series (Windows
95, 98, and Me), Windows XP offers much that is pleasing to its users:
rock-solid stability and a fresh new look. But power users who want to take
command of their operating systems will find the same old frustrations: it's
never been easy to get under the hood of a Windows system and Windows XP is no
exception.
Now power users can rejoice! Windows XP Hacks offers
tips, tools, and know-how to bend Windows XP to your will. The book delves into
XP topics such as controlling the control panel, changing unchangeable icons,
removing uninstallable XP components, stopping pop-up ads, taking a bite out of
cookies, speeding up file downloads, protecting yourself with firewalls and
proxy servers, and more. Users of both Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP
Pro Edition will find smart, timesaving, fun, and useful hacks for virtually
every feature in their operating system. Even if you're not a power user yet,
this book will have you well on your way.
Each Hack in the book can be
read easily in a few minutes, saving countless hours of searching for the right
answer. Windows XP Hacks provides direct, hands-on solutions that can be
applied to the challenges facing both those meeting Windows XP for the first
time as well as long-time users who know what they want from their operating
system and just wants tips on how to get it.
Windows XP Hacks is
the latest in O'Reilly's new Hacks Series which aims to begin reclaiming the
term "hacking" for the good guys. In recent years, the term has come to be
associated with those nefarious black hats who break into computers to snoop,
steal information or disrupt Internet traffic. But the term originally had a
more benign meaning, and you'll still hear it used this way whenever developers
get together. Our new Hacks books are written in the spirit of the true hackers
-- the people who drive innovation.
