Description
This text covers the issues for NT Workstation users such as a printing on a network, RAS/Dial-Up networking, boot problems, customization, modem problems, using My Briefcase backup, and sharing between NT 4 and Windows 95. In 1996, NT Workstation sales tripled from 565,000 in 1995 to approximately 2.3 million. Although NT is similar in many respects to Windows 95, it requires significantly more technical support. Features of the book include: a "Top Ten FAQs" chapter from Stream International's database (appearing as the first chapter of the book); an "@at-a-Glance" page at the beginning of every chapter which sets the stage and provides an overview of the chapter's contents; the text is further annotated by "Author Notes, Tips and Warnings" - special pieces of wisdom that supplement the straight how-tos; a "Time-Saving Tricks" chapter, with the emphasis on undocumented material; and a listing of the most common error messages and their solutions in the final chapter.
