This book describes Microsoft Windows XP for blind and visually impaired computer users, enabling them to take full advantage of this new version of Windows when using it with assistive technology.

"Sarah has developed a remarkable insight and understanding of how you perform tasks when you can't see the screen. Her books have become the computer-bible for users and trainers alike." British Computer Association of the Blind, 2002.

This is the fourth in the series of award-winning books on Windows for blind and visually impaired users by Dr. Sarah Morley, and "Windows XP Explained" continues to fill an important gap in the Microsoft Windows literature.

It explains basic computer terminology and Windows concepts, and goes on to cover more advanced Windows XP functionality. It describes objects and tasks from a non-visual perspective with full details of keyboard commands, written specifically for blind and visually impaired users who are not necessarily looking at the screen or using a mouse.

This book provides blind and visually impaired users with a thorough grounding in this new operating system, and enables them to work comfortably in Windows XP with whatever assistive technology they are using.
