To make your life easier, this book includes various features and conventions that help you get the most out of this book and Windows 98 itself.
Steps: Throughout the book, I've broken many Windows 98 tasks into easy-to-follow step-by-step procedures.
Things you type: Whenever I suggest that you type something, what you type appears in a monospace font.
Filenames: These also appear in monospace.
DOS commands: DOS commands and their syntax use the monospace font as well. Command placeholders (which stand for what you actually type) appear in an italic monospace font.
Pull-down menu commands: I use the following style for all application menu commands: Menu | Command, where Menu is the name of the menu that you pull down and Command is the name of the command you select. Here's an example: File | Open. This means that you pull down the File menu and select the Open command.
New Windows 98 features icon: Programs and files that are new in Windows 98 are marked with the New to 98 icon.
Code continuation character: When a line of code is too long to fit on only one line of this book, it is broken at a convenient place and continued to the next line. The continuation of the line is preceded by a code continuation character (>>). You should type a line of code that has this character as one long line without breaking it.
This book also uses the following boxes to draw your attention to important (or merely interesting) information:
|
TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting boxes point out common Windows 98 problems and tell you how to solve them. |
|
TIP The Tip box tells you about Windows 98 methods that are easier, faster, or more efficient than the standard methods. |
