Windows 98 Secrets Gold is a boxed set containing a book (Windows 98 Secrets) and several CD-ROMs. The book is the star of the show. The CD-ROMs are worth exploring but may not be worth the extra cost they add to the price of the book, which is also sold by itself.

With that in mind, Windows 98 Secrets is an excellent book. It includes full documentation of all of Windows 98's features, plus quite a bit of extra, less-well-known information. Among the useful secrets the authors share are specific procedures for resolving hardware resource conflicts, a way to access your Exchange address book directly, and the details of using Make Compatible, a utility that helps make Windows 3.x programs run properly under Windows 98. The odds are good that you'll learn something to increase your efficiency or happiness as a Windows 98 user.

Four CD-ROMs accompany the book. These four discs contain a lot of shareware and freeware, plus the full text of Windows 98 Secrets in WinHelp format. The shareware programs--some 16-bit and some 32-bit, by the way--serve many purposes, but quite a few popular tools (like WinZip, HotDog, and Acrobat Reader) are conspicuously missing. The interface is pretty clunky, too. Helpful hint: You should put Bonus Disk 2 into your CD-ROM drive first. --David Wall --This text refers to the paperback edition of of this title
