About the Author
Greg Harvey, the author of more than 50 computer books, has
had a long career of teaching business people the use of IBM PC,
Windows, and Macintosh software application programs. From
1983 to 1988, he conducted hands-on computer software training
for corporate business users with a variety of training companies
(including his own, PC Teach). From 1988 to 1992, he taught univer-
sity classes in Lotus 1-2-3 and Introduction to Database Management
Technology (using dBASE) in the Department of Information Systems

book author, he hopes to enliven his future online computer books
by making them into true interactive learning experiences that will
vastly enrich and improve the training of users of all skill levels.

Author’s Acknowledgments
Many thanks to Christopher Aiken at Mind over Media, Inc. for
helping and supporting me with this revision of Windows Quick
Reference.
I want to thank the following people at Wiley Publishing, Inc.
as well who have worked so hard to make this book a reality:
Tiffany Franklin for her help in getting this revision off the ground;
Christine Berman for her tireless editorial assistance; and the
amazing layout folks in Production. Thanks, too, to Kerwin
McKenzie for the technical review.
Last, but never least, I want to acknowledge my indebtedness to
Dan Gookin, whose vision, sardonic wit, and (sometimes) good
humor produced DOS For Dummies, the “Mother” of all For Dummies
books. Thanks for the inspiration and the book that made it all
possible, Dan.
