From the Back Cover
Compiled by one of America's leading Windows experts, this book is a wall-to-wall compendium of tips, tricks, warnings, shortcuts, reviews, and resources that will inform, entertain, and empower Windows users of every ability level. "Toss out the other Windows books. This one is the best." - Peter Lewis, The New York Times
The Windows 3.1 Bible , by Fred Davis, is the most comprehensive and comprehensible book about Windows ever published. First published in 1993, and now in its fourth printing, it has garnered praise throughout the computing world. This monumental book crams almost half a million words about Windows 3.1 into more than 1,100 pages that's more information about the Windows 3.1 environment than any other source. The Windows 3.1 Bible also includes a thousand points of enlightenment, with hundreds of illustrations, tables, and specially flagged tips, tricks, warnings, and product recommendations. And, unlike a computer manual, it's fun to read!
Award-winning computer journalist Fred Davis spent over two years researching and writing this epic work. "It's the most downright informative book on Windows I've ever seen," says Jesse Berst, editor of the Windows Watcher newsletter. The book covers the gamut of Windows
3.1 operations, from installation and setup to advanced topics such as the use of OLE and DDE. Topics include:
- The Program Manager, File Manager, Windows Setup, Control Panel, and the host of utilities that come bundled with Windows 3.1.
- Fonts, displays, printers, keyboards, mice, networks, communications, modems, faxing, and the hottest developments in multimedia.
- Configuring DOS for Windows and multitasking DOS applications from within Windows.
- Editing .INI files, creating custom installation scripts, and using Dr. Watson and Microsoft Diagnostics.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
