Req; Good manual for learning XP.
Can anyone recommend a decent book for learning XP? The only thing I could find locally was "Windows XP for Dummies" by Woody Leonhard. I guess it serves a need but it you remove all the extraneous corny jokes and wisecracks there isn't much left in the way of reference material. For example: I can't remember how to boot in safe mode. But the dummies book does not have an index entry fo...

XP home stops at login screen
