I will tell the truth I found this book easy and simple to follow. Some of the hacks are very throughout but the hacks never went that far for me, there were too many “download this” and “download that so you can do this” so I guess for real hackers its pretty basic with hardly any registry hacks listed. I don’t think the book would take a normal user (a n00b) to a total full on power user hacker but it would be a starting point. I wish I had this book before I switched from 98 to xp, it would have saved me a lot of time.


If you know how to change the look and feel of xp, down to the bone then don’t buy this book.


If your new or an existing Windows user who’s looking to tweak xp into a much more efficient operating system then definitely but this book!
