Product Description
From Amazon
If you're a "just the facts, ma'am" kind of person, Windows NT Registry will call to you like the siren on the rocks. Yet another in the New Riders networking series, this book delivers the goods on fine-tuning your network operations via the Windows NT Registry, considered the nerve center of the operating system. Author Sandra Osborne, longtime programmer and Windows expert, presents the material in a straightforward, tough-to-argue-with style that's geared exclusively to the networking professional.
Divided into three sections, Windows NT Registry tackles hardware issues, workstation components, and network client issues. Osborne cuts right to the chase in each chapter, briefly explaining the task at hand and then directing you to the precise location in the Registry from which you can complete it. In addition, you get loads of useful orientation screenshots, tables that consolidate information on various settings, sample commands, and an appendix that contains a complete listing of the Windows NT Registry keys. The liberally splattered quasi footnotes that contain tips, troubleshooting advice, warnings, and author notes detailing Osborne's personal experience with various components of the Registry are bonuses. A fantastic resource, this is an indispensable guide for those whose occupation requires them to regularly wrestle with NT. --Sarah L. Roberts-Witt

Please inform me when someone writes a decent book on the registry. This one doesn't fit the bill either. We need practical examples that are organized in a useful manner, like "Controlling the User Interface", "Network Services", "File Associations", and "Shared DLL Handling". I will be waiting with bated breath. Until then, save your money on this book.

This book has more unknown registry settings than any other Registry Book. The first discovery of Flag settings are discussed and are invaluable when trying to program the Windows Interface or programatically controlling the control panel applets. It even shows how to create your own policies using settings in the Policy chapter. GREAT BOOK !!!
By R. Bowman
Format:Paperback
The bulk of the book is devoted to describing the Registry entries controlled by the Control Panel interfaces and other applets. Approximately 25% of the volume is a raw dump of a NT registry. If you are looking for how to enable command completion in a DOS window, or other interesting tidbits, this is not the book.
One of the few books I've ever found so useless that I've bothered to return it -- fortunately, Amazon.com makes returns quite painless.

Not for beginners.
I'll take the experts' word for it that this is an excellent book. But from looking at it in the bookstore, it is not a book for beginners. Read more

GREAT Registry book for NT Admins!
Of all of the books that claim to demystify the registry, *this* book lives up to the task. It is apparently obvious that Ms. Read more
