Introduction

Part V: Unleashing Windows 7 Troubleshooting

Windows 7 may represent the state of Microsoft’s operating system art, but it is still

Windows, which means problems, bugs, and glitches are pretty much inevitable. The four

chapters in Part V can help when the Windows demons strike. You learn general trou-

bleshooting techniques (Chapter 21), and how to troubleshoot device (Chapter 22),

startup (Chapter 23), and networking (Chapter 24).

Part VI: Unleashing Windows 7 Networking

It’s a rare home or small office that doesn’t have (or doesn’t want to have) a network, and

Part VI is a reflection of this fact (that I just made up). You learn how to set up a small

network (Chapter 25), how to access and use that network (Chapter 26), how to access

your network from remote locations (Chapter 27), how to use Windows 7 as a web server

(Chapter 28), and how to incorporate Macs into your network (Chapter 29).

Part VII: Unleashing Windows 7 Scripting

To close out the main part of this book, Part VII takes an in-depth look at two methods for

automating Windows tasks with scripts: Windows Scripting Host (Chapter 30) and

Windows PowerShell (Chapter 31).

Part VIII: Appendixes

To further your Windows 7 education, Part VIII presents two appendixes that contain

extra goodies. You’ll find a complete list of Windows 7 shortcut keys (Appendix A), and a

detailed look at the TCP/IP protocols that underlie Windows 7 networking (Appendix B).
