Description:I like 'hot tip' books. Every time I pick up one, I find something that I find useful that I never knew about before.
When I first picked up this book and started thumbing through it I found Hot Tip #49. It is named "Quickly shut down Windows with a souble-click." How come I didn't know this before? It is certainly something that I can use. I find clicking Start (Ignoring that Start shouldn't mean Stop), then clicking on Turn Off Computer, and then having to confirm that yes, this is really what I want to do to be a drag.
This tip, like all the others in the book uses the famous Maran full-color illustrated approach to tell how to do it. I did it on my computer, and everything looked exactly like their illustrations, it took about a minute, and now there's a shortcut named ShutDown on my desktop.
There are a hundred and one such hot tips in this book. Many, like "Customize the Mouse for Left-Handed Users," don't interest me.
All in all, I set up a handful of things following their directions, and there is another handful that I'm thinking about. What more can you expect out of a little, inexpensive book like this one?
