Basic tutorial for Windows?

Hello, all,

  Some of our paraprofessional staff members here in Cataloging have been 
working here for many years and are accustomed to using a limited number of 
computer functions and programs for their work.  As the 
all-graphical-all-the-time version of our cataloging software is about to 
descend upon us, we have found to our concern that some of these employees 
aren't very familiar with basic Windows usage, as they haven't needed it 
before (at least not very much).  And the training sessions offered on 
campus are somewhat intimidating to those who want to move at a slower pace 
than the class.

Does anyone know of a good basic tutorial for Windows that is available 
online?  We are currently using Windows 2000, though I don't think the 
tutorial needs to be specific to this version.  We have looked at the Help 
feature for Windows 2000 but didn't think it was really what we were 
looking for (we want something REALLY basic, preferably with lots of 
graphics and/or examples).

Thanks so much for any help you can give,
