A minor point:
To lock your computer, you can use the <Windows key> L.
It is a shorter sequence than four key sequence described.
(This W+L works on most windows versions.)

The pages you show in Printing 5 for the Windows Live Photo Gallery is a version which is older. I have a newer layout of the menu bar on my computer (Acer 5733-6838) which is entirely different. Do you have a printed correction to clarify this? It is a little confusiing at times when I am told "Bring the Info pane back by clicking Info in the toolbar" and there is no Info there, but I can get the "Info" by clicking the "Caption" that is there! I think I have the older Printing and it has been changed.

Index column 2 |
The index page 877 lists "service packs, 16" (without the quotes). But I can't find any reference to service packs on page 16. I think the index should read "service packs, 14."
P.S. I looked up "service packs" to see if this edition included Win7 Sp1. Apparently it does not (see page 14). I hope the changes made by Sp1 are (or will be) described on this website.
