Title: Valuable Reference Book
Review: I've liked Cowart's books before, and this is no exception. As with previous versions of Mastering Windows by Cowart, this is well-written with clear explanations, useful asides, and seat-of-the-pants advice. He isn't afraid to say what works and what doesn't work with Microsoft's operating system, and how to work around obstacles. Until I saw the CD that is included, I was worried that it may not cover all of the areas I am used to referring to in this series. But then I found the CD, including more advanced topics such as editing the Registry, advanced networking, using the Windows Scripting Host, setting up web sites, and a huge section on gaming, including network gaming. It looks like about 800 additional 'pages' are on the CD. The CD format makes searching for subjects easy, and the information is right there on the computer - where I need it. I highly recommend this book - I refer to it daily for quick solutions to Windows problems.
