Customer Reviews

Good book for beginners3
Like most of the books on the Registry, this book does a very good job of explaining how to use RegEdit and RegEdt32. But in my opinion, it spends way to much time talking about "how" to access the registry and doesn't go into enough detail on what's in the registry. There's no comprehensive list of registry entries. If you are an NT administrator, there is some of the best information I've ever seen on policies here.

If you don't own any books on the Registry and you need a beginner's book on "How To" access the registry, this is the book you want. Otherwise, there are much better books on the subject.

Complete, useful & accessible treatment of WinNT registry5
This book meets O'Reilly's usual high standards. I write books about Windows NT, and thought I knew the registry pretty thoroughly, but I learned several new things in almost every chapter.
