I'll probably do a poor job of explaining it, but I try to look at one of the three major columns (top to bottom, three minor columns wide) and start with the #1. Within that major column, each minor column should have a 1. When you find a minor column without a 1, identify which block of nine does not have a 1. You have then found three potential positions for that 1. By looking at the minor rows that intersect the block, you can identify which position the 1 belongs. Repeat up to #9. At that point you should be able to identify complete minor rows and columns by seeing whats missing and referring to its intersecting blocks, etc.
Confusing or helpful???

First I would look at the top three blocks. If a number appears in two of the three blocks, there may be only one place for the same number to be placed in the third box. Keep in mind that it will have to be on a different level than the other 2 numbers. Repeat for the middle and bottom. Then do the same thing vertically. After this, go to each square that is open and list all the possibilities. I usually write the numbers in the bottom of the box in small print. On easier puzzles, you will be able to fill in several numbers using this method. If a row has two boxes with only two possibilities and a third contains the same number as a possibility with two or more other numbers, you can eliminate the number from consideration since the original two boxes have these 2 numbers as the only possibilites. Then go back to the original strategy. This should get you started.

Easy! Just write all the right numbers in all the right places.
More seriously, difficult to explain in one short answer.
Be methodical. As a first pass, work through all the numbers from 1 to 9 and see if any must be in a specific position because of the location of the pre-printed numbers.
Then work by row and by column and see what numbers are missing. Again a few will need to be in a specific place.
Then do the same by square.
Repeat until you've solved it.

They already explained the "how to".... but if you're serious about it, there's a book that you can buy. It gives you techniques how to solve it. The book is kinda thick. =)
