Getting to Know 
Windows  XP 

This chapter introduces the Windows

®

 XP operating system by 

guiding you through a few basic tasks.

If you have used the Windows

®

 2000 operating system, you will 

find that the Windows

®

 XP operating system works in similar 

ways. Whether you have used a Windows

®

 operating system or 

not, the skill and confidence you will gain from this chapter will 
more than offset the short amount of time spent going through 
these lessons. 

As you explore your computer’s operating system further, you will 
often discover alternative ways of accomplishing a particular task.

For more detailed information on your operating system, refer to 
the Microsoft Windows

®

 XP documentation that came with your 

computer.
