Welcome
28/09/2010
Welcome 1000 Greatest Windows Tips
This is the ultimate tips book, compiled

from a year’s worth of expert advice…
T
oo bold a claim perhaps? With 1,000 of the greatest
Windows XP hints and tricks, it’s entirely possible when
you consider the source. Microsoft Windows XP: The
Official Magazine is the fastest growing PC magazine in the UK
and it’s the only home computer magazine to be officially
endorsed by Microsoft.
It’s proved to be so popular since it launched at the end of
2001 that almost all our back issues are sold out already! We
receive regular requests from readers keen to get their hands on
previous features or articles, but the simple fact is that many of
our editions from last year just aren’t available any more. Since
issue 16 we have been working in conjunction with Zinio
(www.windowsxpmagazine.co.uk/emag.asp) to turn our magazine
into a downloadable digital format, and it’s possible to buy back
issues of those versions from the internet. However, magazines
from before then are simply unavailable.
Hence this tips book, a compilation of the essential advice
we’ve crammed into Microsoft Windows XP: The Official
Magazine over the last year or so. We feel that even those
readers who have been with us from the start will benefit from
this volume. All the best tips have been combined into one
convenient source, a miniature companion for your PC. It has
been organised by category so you can pull it out of your pocket
and refer to it whenever you need a quick solution.
We’ve enjoyed reliving some of our best moments while
compiling this collection, and we’d like to think that you will get a
great deal of use out of the tips we’ve selected. Contact us via
the website below to let us know how you get on…
