I am looking for a good book on WinXP that is not too moch of a primer
but not too advanced or esoteric.
I have been using PCs for many years and on PC from the PC1 and DOS
thru Win 3.0 to Win2K. I understand the basics (file structure,
fragmentation, administrator privileges, shortcuts, ZIP files,
properties, etc.) and simple networking (we have a p2p network with a
wireless router).
I don't need a book that starts with "this is a file and this is an
extension". But I also don't need one that goes into the minutiae of
servers and RAID hardware or how to run a dual boot system or
overclock the CPU.
Is there a good intermediate book that helps with tips and tricks and
shortcuts and maybe some useful utilities?

I found "Microsoft Windows XP Inside Out" to be a good book when I
went to XP a few years back. I still have it and refer to it now and
again.

If you have a good grasp of Windows 2000 you will have no problems using
Windows XP. Windows XP Professional is almost the same as Windows 2000.
It has a few extra feature and "Eye Candy" but is otherwise very
similar to Windows 2000. When it came out it was often referred to as
Windows 2000 with a new Service Pack.

Well, "good grasp" is relative and subjective. I used Win2K for 5-6
years and got used to doing things a certain way.
Maybe what I'm asking is for a good book that might point out some
ways I could work more efficiently or effectively.

I second that recommendation.

Yes. That's borne out by the real version numbers of the two operating
systems
Windows 2000 = Windows NT 5.0
Windows XP = Windows NT 5.1

I can honestly say that you aren't going to find XP that much different from
W2K. I used Mark Minasi's book Mastering Windows 2000 when I first started
using W2K and it was an excellent resource for me. I purchased Mastering
Windows XP as soon as it came out and found that I hardly ever used it.
There was so much basic info in the first book that applied to XP as well as
W2K, that I wouldn't have needed to purchase the later book. Nearly
everything I knew about W2K applied to XP, and the few things that were
different were very easy to adapt to. >> Stay informed about: Good book for intermediate used converting from Win2K |

Go to a Library and take a look at WindowsXP Inside Out as suggested by
'Another Brian'. I think you'll see it is what you want. Check e-bay and
amazon.com for a good price.
