1998/1999 will be only the second year Windows NT Workstation 4.0 will be available to students of Computer Science. Due to the years of predominance UNIX has played in Computer Science we do not have documentation done for Windows NT here at McGill Computer Science. The popularity of Windows 95/NT GUI makes navigating options and menus relatively easy for Windows 95 and earlier users ( not to mention the numerous tutorials, help screens, etc available when one hits F1 or goes to help ).
What we can offer instead is some useful web links and newsgroups concerning Windows NT. At worst, there is always the Microsoft site on Windows NT.
There is no way anyone can document all of the functionality of Windows NT. Try these sites and always be on the lookout for new ones. If you can suggest a good one please email us!

Here are a few newsgroups for Windows NT users. The people reading on the newsgroups are generally friendly and just by reading some of the problems you can get a solution.
