Bigger, better, and broader in scope, the Big Book of Windows Hacks gives you <br />
everything you need to get the most out of your Windows Vista or XP system, <br />
including its related applications and the hardware it runs on or connects to. <br />
Whether you want to tweak Vista's Aero interface, build customized sidebar <br />
gadgets and run them from a USB key, or hack the "unhackable" screensavers, <br />
you'll find quick and ingenious ways to bend these recalcitrant operating <br />
systems to your will.<br />
<br />
The Big Book of Windows Hacks focuses on Vista, the new bad boy on Microsoft's <br />
block, with hacks and workarounds that also work for Windows XP. You can read <br />
each hack in just a few minutes, saving countless hours of searching for the <br />
right answer. The step-by-step instructions let you apply the solutions in no <br />
time. This book takes you beyond the operating system with hacks for <br />
applications like Internet Explorer 7 and Office 2007, and hardware such as the <br />
Zune, your wireless router, and the PC itself.<br />
<br />
The Big Book of Windows Hacks includes:<br />
<br />
* Expanded tutorials, new background material, a series of "quick hacks", <br />
and informative sidebars<br />
* Security hacks, including protection at wireless hotspots, hacking Vista <br />
file permissions and user account protection, and more<br />
* Efficiency hacks, such as tweaking your PC hardware, troubleshooting <br />
hardware problems, and speeding up system performance<br />
* Fun hacks, like building a custom Media Center PC or turning a PC into a <br />
digital video recorder<br />
* "Beyond Windows" hacks for running Linux inside Vista, dual-booting <br />
Linux/Windows or XP/Vista, or emulate classic video games on your PC<br />
<br />
In all, this remarkable book contains more than 100 hacks so that the power user <br />
in you never again needs to be at the mercy of systems and hardware run by <br />
Microsoft's omnipotent Vista and XP operating systems.<br />
