Tips & Warnings
Decide ahead of time how and by whom the tutorial will be viewed. The animated version is great for beginners, while the nonanimated tutorial may work well with administrators who are already familiar with the Windows XP environment and want to further review its capabilities. The nonanimated tutorial may also be the best choice when speaker and group interaction is needed during viewing. After watching the tour, "walkthroughs" are available via Help and Support accessible from the Start menu.
The Windows XP Tutorial download is only available for those who have Windows XP installed on their computer. It is located on the hard drive, so your hard drive may be identified in another location other than "c:": sometimes "e:" or "f:". When in doubt, speak with your administrator.
