XP reference guide ...

[Christina Thiele]

Since I'm facing an NT --> XP upgrade some day ;-)) my eye was caught
by a reference guide in WalMart (of all places). Here are the
identifying labels/tags at the top of it:

   BarCharts, Inc    World's #1 Quick Reference Software Guide

   Quick Study -- Computer     Windows XP Professional

It's a laminated `thing' that folds out to three two-sided panels,
with boxed sections, each with a title:

  P.1: Main Window
  P.2: New Features (diffs between Win2000 and XP), Help and Support,
       Run Window
  P.3: Windows Explorer, Windows Explorer Task Panes, Working with
       Files
  P.4: The Recycle Bin, The Taskbar, Taskbar Shortcut Menu,
       Customizing Taskbar & Start Menu
  P.5: Control Panel
  P.6: Switching Between Users, Shutting Down, Using the Search
       Feature, My Computer, Customizing the Display

In going through it quickly, I find this under `Control Panel' and
mention it because it differs from what we've usually been doing with
Win2000 -- and certainly differs from the older OSs, which need(ed)
ATM for proper font installation:

    Fonts displays all fonts installed in the system and allows for
    adding fonts (by selecting File, Install New Font) and removing
    fonts (by selecting the font(s) and <Delete>).

Is this what all you XP users are in fact doing, rather than the
Win2000 instruction in the manuals (which seem to assume it's the same
for both OSs), which says to just drag the .pfm files over to the
\fonts folder in c:\winnt (although we also seem to see XP machines
where it's the c:\windows folder that has \fonts in it).

Any comments ... a.k.a. guidance for the/my future? ;-)
