Books for Windows (7)
I am looking for a book that give inside tips, advance troubleshooting
and references. Last i stumbled over a book with the title "Troubleshooting Windows 7 Inside Out" from Mike Halsey. I like to hear an opinion about it. Is it good or are there better books? O'Reilly usually has good books but not sure about the Windows books in general. -- ACCESS DENIED... /\_/\ ____/ o o \ /~____ =ø= / (______)__m_m) el cato |

Forget it Windows 8 will be out soon so anything you read on Windows 7 will
be for nothing. Joerg Jaeger wrote: I am looking for a book that give inside tips, advance troubleshooting and references.

Windows 7 Inside Out Ed Bott, Carl Siechert, Craig Stinson (Published by Microsoft) It's pretty comprehensive. You have to read the blurb to see what you might be getting. I also have "The Windows 7 Power Users Guide" by Mike Halsey. Well, it might be entitled "Power Users Guide", but inside it says: "Who is this book for? This guide is for non-technical, casual, users of Windows. If you use a PC at home for sending and receiving email, browsing the web and maybe odd jobs like writing letters and editing digital photographs then this is the book for you. Any features for advanced users will be highlighted with this logo. (cogs logo)." So is it for advanced users or not? -- Jeff |

Well-written, well laid-out, and comes with a searchable PDF. Well worth the money. Do any of these tomes tell how to maintain a view within a desktop folder? Mine always revert to "details" view' *sulk* |

I would interpret the above as meaning it's mostly for non-technical, casual users, but contains odd bits of strong details - shown with a marker so the casual reader knows to skip them if s/he wants. I've encountered this quite frequently in general books; the specialist bit(s) is/are usually separated out in some way, such as in a box with a different background shade. -- J. P. Gilliver.
