Chapter 4. Windows XP Applications and Tools
This chapter
provides an alphabetical reference to all of the useful components
that make up Windows XP: an encyclopedia of everything you can do
with Windows out of the box. Some of the more prominent applications
and utilities that come with Windows XP are available through
shortcuts on the Start menu, but many useful tools
aren't as conspicuousavailable only to those
who know where to look. What you'll undoubtedly find
interesting is the large number of applications that
aren't listed in the Start menu or documented in the
manual or in most books.
At the beginning of each entry, you'll find all the
different methods of launching (or opening) these components,
including their locations in the Start menu (if applicable), their
executable filenames for starting them from the command prompt, or
any other means of accessing the component. See Chapter 2 for an overview of all the ways to launch
programs in Windows XP.
