Customer Reviews

A fairly Good Reference

After literly reading though this book cover to cover I found it to be almost generic. Nothing intialy stood out for me. It seem no different then any of the other books related to XP tools, tweaks, and registery hacks that you can find almost anywhere on the Internet. But I have to admit I have returned to this book many times since I've purchased it in October 2002. When ever I need something to tweak I've managed to find it in the book. I would hope that they will continue to ehance the book by releasing a newer edition maybe ...more Windows XP Power tool kits book II.

Critical Acclaim

I really quite liked this book compared to a lot other books I have purchased and used for both home and business use. It avoids repeating information just to fill up pages and some of the tips are ones I have not seen in other books. The language is clear and easy to follow even for my non computer literate friends and associates which is of course the true test of a books usefulness. I am a tech and learned some useful tips on reclaiming valuable screen real estate and how to layout my desktop more efficiently. I do have the other "Inside Out" books but this one gets the edge for being written for everyone. Job well done!
