Errata

The book notes that Windows has always had shortcuts for capturing screenshots and gives the following examples: "press the Print Screen (or PrtScn) key to print a picture of the whole screen; add the Alt key to copy it to the Clipboard." However, for many years now, pressing the PrtScn key simply copies a picture of the screen to the Clipboard, and pressing Alt+PrtScn modifies this by limiting the operation to the active window.

This refers to Appendix C however, on page 641, the Appendix (upper right hand corner of page, erroneous calls the Appendix D. (It follows Appendix B on Page 635.

Another error on page 10, 1st full paragraph on page 10 says there are "four appendixes" vs. there are only three: Refer to unlisted page 621 which only lists 3: The 1st (...installing ...) is on page 623.

See above: B (Where'd go?) is on page 635.

Appendix C (Master List...) is erroneously called D on page 641.
THERE IS NO APPENDIX D

Page 26 is another error:: It says "See page 51...on creating, deleting...jump lists however this info is found on pages 98-102.

Final error on page 100, last par. at bottom refers to "icon(Fig.6-29)" however it should be Fig. 6-2
.
Oops! I found it very difficult to find the software. vs, a GREAT BOOK.

Tell me where to ask a few questions about concerns re Win10 AND I'll be totally happy!

The bullet point:
"••Move something to Start or the taskbar. Suppose there’s some app—say, Calculator— that’s listed in “Most used” or the “All apps” list. And you think you’d rather have it installed on your taskbar, visible at all times. Or you think it’d work best as a tile on the right side. Turns out you can right-click its name on the left side. From the shortcut menu, choose “Pin to taskbar” or “Pin to Start.” It disappears from the left side and goes where you sent it."

is incorrect. It is true for the Most Used list but is NOT true for the All apps list which always contains all apps.

The paragraph:

"Whatever you had running remains open behind the scenes. When you log in again, you’ll find all your open programs and documents exactly as you left them."

appears after the Sign Out bullet point and appears to refer to Sign Out which is incorrect. This paragraph applies to Lock.

The Login PIN is no longer limited to 4 digits. Windows 10 accepts a PIN consisting of dozens of digits. (I have yet to determine the maximum number of digits allowed in the PIN.)

Please ignore the above page number. I have an e-book which has locations #s instead of page #s. The definition of the PIN as a four-digit number occurs many places in the book.

The 3rd paragraph says that when you select the Move cmd from the Control Menu, the cursor turns into a 4-headed arrow (true), which allows you to move the window by "dragging any part of it, even the middle." Not true. When you try it, you just move the cursor around, but the window stays put.

However, after selecting the Move cmd, you can move the window around using the arrow keys. And having used an arrow key, you can then (and only then) move the window around with the cursor.

This odd behavior would seem to be a bug, and I would expect Microsoft for fix it in a future update. Meanwhile, however, the statement in the book is wrong.

Thanks
