If you are looking for the easiest way possible to learn about Windows Vista, you have just found it! Welcome to Windows Vista is a complete introduction to Microsoft's newest operating system. In Unit 1, students begin their exploration of Windows Vista and general computer concepts. They start programs, learn multitasking techniques, and create and save files in Paint and WordPad. In Unit 2, students deal with file management. They learn about how files, folders, and drives are organized on the computer as well as how to create, organize, and manage their own folders. Students even learn how to copy files to CDs, DVDs, and USB flash drives. In Unit 3, students connect to the Internet and learn how to customize Vista's look to suit their needs and preferences. Throughout this book we have also included Behind the Screen sections, brief discussions on topics such as computer components, monitors and resolution, file storage, and more!
