Introduction

Welcome to the Microsoft® Windows NT® Workstation Resource Kit: Windows NT Workstation Resource Guide.

The Microsoft Windows NT Workstation Resource Kit for version 4.0 consists of this new, comprehensive volume and a single compact disc (CD) containing utilities that make it easier for you to get the most out of Windows NT Workstation. For information and utilities specific to working with Windows NT Server and/or large networks, you need to purchase the Microsoft Windows NT Server Resource Kit for version 4.0.

The Windows NT Workstation Resource Guide presents detailed information on the Windows NT Workstation operating system, plus topics that are either new for version 4.0 or reflect issues that our Product Support people consider timely and important. You should consider this information to be an in-depth, technical supplement to the printed and online documentation included as part of the Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 product. It does not replace that information as the source for learning how to use the product features and programs.

• The first section outlines the contents of this book, so that you can quickly find pertinent technical details.

• The second section introduces the Windows NT Workstation Resource Kit CD.
