If you are familiar with other versions of Windows, I like
David Pogue's book, Windows XP (Home Edition) The Missing
Manual.
If you know nothing about Windows at all, I pity you, as
it keeps getting more complex with each incarnation. The
best way to learn Windows is from a step by step textbook
that assumes no prior knowledge, like the series from
Course Technology (www.course.com).

They offer 22 titles on XP alone. The "Basics" book is
over 400 pages, with hundreds of screen prints. They have
taught me a lot, with little pain, though it takes time to
do the various exercises.
