Windows 2000 Pro: The Missing Manual
Customer Reviews
Rated 5 starsAs advertised - no more, no less
Windows changes with each version - e.g. "Network neighborhood" becomes "My network places", etc. Even experienced users can get lost in the often non-intuitive cascade of menus if the features aren't where you expect them to be.This book is exactly what it says - the missing complete user's manual.

The section in the back of the book about Maintenance and Troubleshooting,...
