Chapter 1 is one of those boring chapters that people who have never worked with Windows before need, and most of us who have already used Windows skim over or skip completely. It discusses the differences between labeled versions of Win7, basic concepts of Win7 use (both familiar concepts like desktop and icon and more abstruse ones such as Aero, Aero Glass and Aero Flip 3D), how to launch Win7, the Win7 desktop, how to move around the desktop, open, close and resize windows, scrolling through windows, maximizing, minimizing, and restoring windows, possible pitfalls of double-clicking, moving windows, expanding folders to see subfolders and files in the Library, sizing a window by dragging, collapsing folders to hide the subfolders and files (in the Library), deleting icons and emptying the recycle bin, adding and removing gadgets to the desktop (sort of an app for a desktop computer), and launching and switching between programs. It also discusses Windows Help and Support in some detail, and discusses how to add, use and delete favorites. It then -- not surprisingly -- shows how to close Internet Explorer, Windows Help and Support, how to empty the Recycle Bin, and how to log off and turn off the computer.
For that I needed a book?
Bump!
