Product Description
From Amazon
A cookbook of hacks you can make to the Registries of the various Windows 2000 operating systems, Windows 2000 Registry Little Black Book will help Windows 2000 administrators make their machines behave the way they want. It'll also help them get a better understanding of how Windows 2000 works, and more than likely introduce them to capabilities of the operating system that aren't well publicized in standard documentation.
Like all books in the Black Book series, the chapters in Windows 2000 Registry Little Black Book (each of which has to do with a functional area, like TCP/IP networking or the graphical user interface) are divided into "In Brief" and "Immediate Solutions" sections. "In Brief" is meant to explain the concepts that underlie the recipes and procedures that appear in the "Immediate Solutions" section, but for this subject the section seems to have been included as a formality--it's miniscule in most chapters and serves only to introduce some terms (terms you should be familiar with if you're considering hacking the Registry). "Immediate Solutions" sections are good, though wordy: every last Registry change is documented with a procedure that begins, "Launch Regedt32." This book could be a third of its present size if this padding were cut. --David Wall
Topics covered: How to change the values of Windows 2000 Registry keys to bring about particular behaviors, such as changing authentication timeouts and changing the way Windows reacts to a service's failure to start; Registry hacks for networking; the graphical user interface; multimedia; hardware; and Internet Information Server (IIS).
Book Description
Windows 2000 Registry Little Black Book, 2nd Edition is a concise and portable guide to configuration changes that can be made to Windows 2000 to aid in the administration of the operating system and improve performance and stability. The book has been revised and updated from the successful first edition based on actual Windows 2000 implementations. It includes four important new chapters thoroughly covering registry tools, registry disaster prevention, registry programming, and MS Office. The book presents general networking information including protocols and interoperability, local and network printers, remote access service and security. It contains insight on COM+, Internet Information Server, Internet Explorer, MS Transaction Server, SQL Server, and MS Office. Plus, the book has a tear-out quick reference card packed with valuable information.

Problem Solver,
By
This review is from: Windows 2000 Registry Little Black Book (Paperback)
These "Little Black Books" are published by the same people as the Exam Cram books and they are very useful. I've got this one along with the Reducing TCO book. Both have come in handy for me. I recently got this Registry book out to figure out an authentication problem we are having on our network. I didn't find anything to fix our problem, but I ended up reading the Sys Admin and TCP/IP section and found a lot of good useful info in there. These books are set up for ease of use. The chapters are tabbed in black so you can find what you are looking for real fast. The Index is very comprehensive and it is easy to look stuff up. It has a quick reference pull-out sheet like the Exam Cram books have. The second edition has some updated information and an expanded index. We should probably be seeing a third edition soon. A third edition or a new one for Windows 2003. This is a useful tool for 2k Sys Admin types and OS power users.

could have fit on 20 pages,
By mauicoconuts "ad4mc" (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Windows 2000 Registry Little Black Book (Paperback)
This book could have fit on the front and back of a single page, laminated pamphlet.Each entry in the book contains the exact step-by-step instructions on how to open regedit, how to reboot your computer after you've completed editing, etc etc. That wouldn't be bad had these instructions not consumed a whole page each. We're talking about 200 - 250 pages of paper in this book CONTAINING THE EXACT SAME INFORMATION (word for word).

Roots of the Windows 2000 registry.,

This review is from: Windows 2000 Registry Little Black Book (Paperback)
Hm, well i unlike most of the people with their "reviews" find this book very interesting and well written, this book can take you deep into windows 2000 registry, starting from changing settings of your keyboard and finishing with resolving networking problems through regedit. I got this book from a friend, now i think i'm gonna buy one for myself.
