Trying to help a friend with various things electronic.  Sadly, she's 
using Windows 7 and I don't think she's up to plunging into new hardware 
and a new operating system.  I think she's pretty much at the very early 
stages of computer usage.  When I sent her an e-mail with   the manual 
for her tv attached she didn't know how to download it and I don't think 
she knows how to navigate through directories.

I don't know anything about Windows and I'm reluctant to try anything on 
her computer.  I have a vision of hitting a wrong key and inducing a 
blue screen of death or causing some sort of registry corruption.

I'm wondering if the Windows 7 for Dummies book would be a good 
reference/beginner's guide or if some other book might be more useful. 
Might keep a copy for myself if it was a good enough guide and intro. 
Any suggestions?
