PC and Windows Sites are plentiful in the Internet.
Begin with About.com's Windows site which can lead you in several
directions:
http://windows.about.com/
~~
Windows-Help.net is a wonderful site full of great tips and guides:
http://www.windows-help.net/
~~
Fix-Windows is another great site
http://www.fixwindows.com/
~~
Bud's Troubleshooter is a very thorough Windows site:
http://www.geocities.com/~budallen/
~~
Let's not forget that The Big Three as I call them, which are all
rich in PC and Windows guides and tutorials. I am speaking of ZDNet,
CNET and Internet.com:
http://www.zdnet.com/
http://www.cnet.com/
http://www.internet.com/
You should explore each of those sites.
~~
Make your best use of the Microsoft Knowledge Base and Support
services:
http://search.support.microsoft.com/kb/c.asp
Okay, after you have collected all those guidances and tips and
tricks, you probably have questions. You need forums to present your
questions in hopes someone can answer them.
The PC Guide site not only has great tutorials, it has several forums
related to PCs:

32bit.com, a great shareware site, also has some great forums.

The Winguides site can provide you more online forums:
http://forums.winguides.com/
USENET can provide you an abundance of helpful forums. Start with
the many microsoft newsgroups. The following page at MS will not
only list the MS newsgroups, but provide you a gateway to post to
them:
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp
Check out the comp.* hierarchy of newsgroups, too.
If you do not have a news server with your ISP, then make use of
www2usenet gateway services such as Google Groups:
http://groups.google.com/

And lastly, don't forget my favorite forum...the email discussion
mailing list.
As it happens, I have an autoresponder with a listing of recommended
PCHelp type mailing lists. To receive this listing, send a blank
message addressed to:
