    Abstract: Tweak It and Freak It A Killer Guide to Making Windows Run Your Way Hundreds of millions of people use Windows every day, and it's a safe bet that some of them would not describe themselves as happy campers. Regardless of skill level, most people have something they dislike about Windows, and they often have a whole laundry list of Windows gripes. "Why can't Windows do this rather than that?" "Why does Windows do X instead of Y?" "Wouldn't it be great if Windows could do Z?" Most people think Windows is set in stone, but it isn't! Strip off that veneer and a whole world comes into view, one that's hackable, moddable, tweakable, customizable, and personalizable. This book shows you the tools and technologies that anyone can use to hack almost every aspect of Windows, from startup to shutdown, from the interface to the Internet, from security to scripting. • Speed up your tired PC with a fistful of easy-to-do, but oh so powerful tweaks! • Tired of looking at the same old Windows day in and day out? So are we! That's why we show you how to give Windows a makeover! • Want to be more productive at work or home? This book is full of productivity tweaks that not only make Windows more fun to use, but also save you tons of time. • Create custom backup routines that safeguard your precious data. • Tighten the security of your PC and your network to stop would-be thieves in their tracks. • Dual-boot Windows XP and Vista on the same machine, or dare we say it, run MacOS on your PC! We won't tell. Paul McFedries is a passionate computer tinkerer and Windows expert. He is the author of more than 60 computer books that have sold more than 3 million copies worldwide. His recent titles include the Sams Publishing books Windows Vista Unleashed, Second Edition, and Windows Home Server Unleashed, and the Que Publishing books Build It. Fix It. Own It. : Networking with Windows Vista, Formulas and Functions with Microsoft Excel 2007, Tricks of the Microsoft Office 2007 Gurus, and Microsoft Access 2007 Forms, Reports, and Queries.

    Abstract: Though many consumers know the basics of using Excel, few users understand the powerful capabilities of the PivotTable and PivotChart features. These tools can help turn long lists of unreadable data into dynamically generated, easy-to-read tables and charts that highlight useful and pertinent business information. Companies rely on this type of data from marketing, accounting, and finance to help make better decisions about products, sales and even human resources. Charts are interactive, allowing the consumer to tweak results with the click of a mouse and PivotTables allow you to fuse data from several sources into one document. This book shows users how to work with PivotTables and PivotCharts to make sense of their data. It covers features such as: understanding PivotTable benefits and uses; creating and customizing PivotTables; using PivotTables to analyze business data; building custom calculations; linking to external data sources, including Access databases, Word tables, Web pages, XML data, SQL Server databases, and OLAP cubes; publishing PivotTables to the Web; multiple consolidation of data, for example, summarizing annual fiscal data by quarters; preparing financial reporting, budgeting, and data analysis across departments; and using VBA to create macros that automate frequently used PivotTable tasks.
