`PR guys for Microsoft who devoted themselves to helping me find information;
`WindowsVista product manager Greg Sullivan, who tolerated being henpeckedwith

`Abdulali, John Cacciatore, Genevieve d’Entremont, Jamie Peppard, Sada Preisch, and
`Ellen Seebacher.
`
`The book owesits greatest debt, though, to the husband-and-wife team of Shawn
`King and Lesa SniderKing.I'll never forget the 16-hourdaysofcheerful, professional
`work they put in during the final three weeks of this book’s creation,all in the name
`of making it the most polished, perfect book it couldbe. (J doubt they'll forget those
`days, either.)
`
`Thanks to David Rogelberg for believing in the idea, and aboveall, to Jennifer, Kelly,
`Tia, and Jeffrey, who make these books—and everything else—possible.

`
`The Missing ManualSeries
`Missing Manual books are superbly written guides to computer products that don't
`come with printed manuals (whichis just aboutall of them). Each book features a
`handcrafted index; cross-references to specific page numbers (not just “See Chapter
`14”); and RepKover, a detached-spinebinding thatlets the booklie perfectlyflat with-
`out the assistance of weights or cinder blocks. Recent and upcomingtitles include:
