The primary features are duplicated in the Settings app; see “Privacy”.

Here’s the HQ for Windows’ backup feature. See Chapter 16.

Fonts

The primary features are duplicated in the Settings app; see “POWER
USERS’ CLINIC Some Clear Talk About ClearType”.

This icon is a shortcut to a folder; it’s not an applet. It opens a window that
reveals all the typefaces installed on your machine. More on fonts on
“Fonts”.

Indexing Options

The Windows search box is so fast because it doesn’t actually root through
all your files. Instead, it roots only through an index of your files, an

invisible, compact database file that Windows maintains in the background.
To learn more about the particulars of indexing and how to use it, see
Chapter 3.

Infrared

Really, Microsoft? When was the last time any PC had an infrared
transceiver for sending files over the air—at about 1 kilobyte a year?

Anyway, if you’ve found such a PC, maybe at an antiques fair, here’s where
you set up the behavior of infrared file transfers between IR-equipped
machines. (Guess that means you’ll need to find two such PCs at the

antiques fair.)

Internet Options

A better name for this program would have been “Web Browser Options,”

since all its settings apply to web browsing—and, specifically, to Internet
Explorer. As a matter of fact, this is the same dialog box that opens from the
Tools → Internet Options menu command within Internet Explorer.
