WARNING: Windows 95 is alive and causing just about everyone some sort of
problem. It needs help--and lots of it. Since you can't take it to obedience
school, do it yourself. Train it to sit, lie down, and bark on command. Woof.
To do that you'll need more than a chair and a bullwhip, you'll need The
Underground Guide to Windows 95.
Microsoft® would have you believe that Windows® 95 is your computing
destiny. The unfortunate part is, they could be right. To paraphrase Willy,
better to arm yourself against a sea of troubles. Because otherwise dark and
murky things like Plug and Play, the System Registry, Installation, and a vast
array of new buttons, knobs, slider bars, and check boxes are going to confound
you with their supreme intuitiveness. Windows expert Scot Finnie cuts a trail
through the heart of darkness--hacking through the undergrowth, unearthing
buried treasure, and placing the machete, Bowie knife, and full survival kit in
your hands so you'll get the best of Windows 95 instead of the other way
around. Learn how to:
 make Win95 drive you out on the Net
master the interface and file system, and redefine the way Win95 works
create the ideal mobile computing environment
conquer the unfathomable Windows 95 setup process
performance tune and troubleshoot the beast
customize it to your own specs
transform it into a network or a network client
and that's just for starters!
Every page has something you can use immediately. This book is packed wall to
wall with advice, warnings, tips, bug reports, workarounds, and the kind of
nitty-gritty explanations that could come only from someone who eats, sleeps,
and breathes Windows.
