Windows 2000 Pro: The Missing Manual: The Missing Manual - Sharon Crawford

Windows 2000 Pro is a comprehensive operating system that combines the user-friendly interface of Windows 98 with the renowned stability of Windows NT. This successor to NT introduces various new technologies, including Plug-and-Play, support for USB devices, power management features, and more. It is 25% faster than Windows 98 and three times as stable. Despite these enhancements, Windows 2000 Pro does not include a printed user's manual.

• Getting started: The early chapters cover using menus, finding lost files, reducing window clutter, and taming the Start menu.
• What's what: This complete guide explains the purpose of every Control Panel item, accessory program, and maintenance tool.
• Mastering the network: Special chapters help navigate the corporate network, dial in from the road, and set up a small-office (peer-to-peer) network, step by step.
• Understanding security: User accounts, file encryption, and the NTFS file system keep private files secure while offering network access to specified coworkers.
• Flying the Net: Demystifies the rich Internet suite of Windows 2000 Pro, including email, newsgroup, Web-browsing, and video conferencing programs.

Windows 2000 Pro: The Missing Manual is an essential user's guide for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. It is a crystal-clear, jargon-free book that should have been included with the operating system.
