Pop quiz time, Amazon readers! Please answer silently, to yourself. Quiz Question #1
Microsoft Windows Me Secrets is comprehensive. True/False Answer: False. Sort of. Windows Me is not an authoritative reference, nor does it claim to be one. If you're looking for an extensive laundry list of features that cover every last crevice of Windows Me, you won't find it here. But let's be honest, if you really wanted to know about every feature in Windows Me, you could just go through the online help system--right? A better question to ask might be the following: Quiz Question #2
Microsoft Windows Me Secrets is chock full of useful facts that'll help you get rid of (or around) an awful lot of the annoying quirks in Windows Me. True/False Answer: True. Although it might not cover everything, this definitely is a book to flip through. We guarantee that you won't be able to get through more than two chapters without finding a way to fix some bizarre aspect of Windows Me that's always bugged you, but that you had no idea you could change. By using Microsoft Windows Me Secrets, you can change just about every aspect of Windows Me that can be changed--and some that can't. Which leads us to the next question: Quiz Question #3
Microsoft Windows Me Secrets contains weirdo registry tricks, obscure behind-the-scenes alterations, and references to shareware packages that you won't find mentioned in any other book that you could buy. True/False Answer: True. In terms of value, some of the tricks are definitely from the "Who the heck would think of doing that?" realm. The expertise from this book comes from many undocumented tricks that won't be found in any Microsoft manual--or anywhere else, either. If there's something in Windows Me that you've been wondering about how to fix, looking here as a last resort probably isn't your worst idea. Quiz Question #4
If you buy Microsoft Windows Me Secrets, and you're looking for seriously cool tricks and workarounds that you haven't been able to find elsewhere, you'll get your money's worth. True/False Answer: True, most definitely. Highly recommended. --William Steinmetz
