Microsoft Windows Me: Millennium Edition for Dummies

Microsoft Windows Me For Dummies boils down to this simple fact: Some people want to be Windows wizards. They sit in front of their computers randomly pressing keys, hoping to stumble onto a hidden, undocumented feature. And you? Well, you're no dummy, that's for sure. But when it comes to Windows and computers, the fascination just isn't there. You just want to get your work done, feed the cat, and relax for a while. And there's nothing wrong with that. That's where this book comes in. Instead of becoming a Windows Me expert, you'll know just enough to get by quickly, cleanly, and with a minimum of pain so that you can move on to the more pleasant things in life. Don't try to read this book in one sitting. Instead, treat it like a dictionary or an encyclopedia. Turn to the page with the information you need, then put down the book and move on. Don't bother trying to remember all the Windows Me buzzwords, leave that stuff for the computer gurus. In fact, if anything technical comes up in a chapter, a road sign warns you well in advance. That way, you can either slow down to read it or speed on around it. You won't find any fancy computer jargon in Microsoft Windows Me For Dummies . Instead, you'll find subjects like these, discussed in plain old English: Why did they choose a dumb name like "Windows Me"? Finding the file you saved yesterday Moving those little windows around on the screen with the mouse Making Windows Me run a little better Performing chores in Windows Me that you used to do in older versions of Windows Starting and closing programs by clicking the mouse button In Microsoft Windows Me For Dummies, there's nothing to memorize and nothing to learn. Just turn to the right page, read the brief explanation, and get back to work. Unlike other books, this one enables you to bypass the technical hoopla and still get your work done.

Excellent Read for the Computer-Challenged

I'm probably one of the last baby-boomers to finally buy a computer. I found it very intimidating. While taking classes that were still leaving me struggling, someone suggested that I buy this book. It was the best investment I could have made. It answers so many of my questions in an easy, humorous way. At one point, my arrow kept jumping all over the computer screen. I was not even touching the mouse. I thought the machine was posessed. I started flipping through my Dummie book and sure enough, the problem was listed. Not posessed, only a dirty mouse. Whew.I have used this book as a resource for info more times than I can recall. It has been a lifesaver for me. Computer experts have a way of talking in a different language. Mr. Rathbone keeps it simple and easy. Thanks!!!

Very Helpful

Great book for an absolute beginner. Well written, clearly explained, not "cutesy" or as funny as the "Idiots" guides but that was OK. Got a lot out of it and was less intimidated by the machine afterwards; much more comfortable in sitting down and trying out the different programs. Well worth the price.

Educational without being boring....

This book will give you a lot of information about how to use WindowsMe. It will answer those "silly" or "stupid" questions you are afraid to ask. Or those questions you ask your computer buddy that he/she answers in waaaay too technical terms for you. :) I agree that this book is more for beginners, but it's fun reading. I have been around since Windows 3.1...and I still read all the new Windows For Dummies Books. They are entertaining as well as informative. I never know what new tip or trick I may learn!

Windows Me For Dummies -- the best book for beginners

Hundreds of Windows Me books fill the shelves. Some are for beginners, others for more advanced users. "Windows Me For Dummies," however, is for absolute beginners -- people sitting in front of a computer for the first time. (Or if every time they use Windows Me it *feels* like the first time.)My book covers Windows Me basics: turning on the computer, copying a floppy disk, and figuring out that weird "cut" and "paste" stuff. It prepares readers for that first foray into setting up and exploring the Internet and e-mail. It describes the dozens of programs and features built into Windows Me so readers knows which buttons to press -- and which to avoid.In short, "Windows Me For Dummies" is for first-time Windows users. If you've already used Windows 95 or 98 and are pretty comfortable with the Windows Way of Life, then you're probably better off with "MORE Windows Me For Dummies." That book covers the more advanced features of Windows Me that many beginners can live without.If the basic features of Windows leave you scratching your head, this book is written to ease your pain. If you're puzzled over Windows Me's new video editor, home networking system, shared network modems, connections for digital cameras and scanners, and advanced e-mail and Internet browsing, then my other book, "MORE Windows Me For Dummies," might be the book for you.

Great for beginners

I recently bought my dad his first home PC for his birthday (his 68th) and wound up spending hours on the phone answering his questions. I finally bought a copy of this book and sent it to him. Now we can talk about more important things, like football scores, when he calls. This probably isn't the book you want if you've used Windows for years and are looking for the latest greatest junk Microsoft has added, but it sure helps the absolute beginner understand the software.
