Here is a free E-Book on Windows basics. The idea is to deal with practical aspects of using Windows rather than discuss the mundane stuff and make it dull.

Is this e-book for you? Please look at these questions.

  • I have created a note file “Things to do.txt” using Windows Notepad. How can I start it quickly from Windows desktop without using the Start Menu?
  • If I use “My Computer” in Windows XP to see the disks, everything appears in one window. I would like to see the disks on the left and the files on the right. How to do that?
  • Where exactly is a “My Documents” folder?
  • What does a backup mean and why does one use special backup software?
  • I am suddenly short of disk space on a drive. How can I find out the largest folders on that drive so that I know which ones to clean to get more space?

Those are the kind of practical things that I want to discuss here. Let’s leave the control panel and device manager to the geeks and make sure that you know some tips on getting the best out of Windows. To keep the things interesting, I will assume that you can start programs in Windows and can create your own documents. You also know how to locate running programs in the task bar at the bottom. If you know that much you are good to go.

If you find it useful, be sure to pass it on to your friends.
