Amazon.com Review

Windows NT Registry Troubleshooting opens with general information about the less-than-intuitive hierarchical structure of the Registry, then moves on to an in-depth discussion of the role of holdover .INI files under Windows NT; Registry Editor gets full documentation. The book progresses to a detailed discussion of the Registry keys that relate to networking, explaining remote Registry maintenance with System Policy Editor. An extensive appendix documents the keys in the Windows NT Registry. True to its name, Windows NT Registry Troubleshooting features an extensive troubleshooting section. Addressing such common (and not- so-common) problems as disabling support for short file names on NTFS- format disk partitions, Tidrow presents the solutions step by step, but he also includes a more in-depth discussion of what's going on. If you run Windows NT exclusively and want a power user's guide to making it work for you, Windows NT Registry Troubleshooting is it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good "first book" on the Registry, July 28, 1998

This review is from: Windows Nt Registry Troubleshooting (Paperback)

For the most part, this is clone of his "Windows 95 Registry troubleshooting" book with some added information on remote registry editing and a few NT specific tips. That was very disappointing.

On it's own, however, it's a good first book for anyone who doesn't own any books on the Registry. Like the other books on this subject, it covers using RegEdit and RegEdt32 and gives you a pretty good overview of the registry. But, it lacks any kind of comprehensive list of registry settings, even on the CD. I also found the CD was missing a couple of files listed in the back of the book. While it also does a pretty good job of covering policies and some network settings, this isn't the best book available for network administrators.
