Remember the Wizard of Oz? Microsoft's Windows NT Registry is like him: powerful, well-hidden, and disdainful of being approached by mere mortals. But Steven Thomas has pierced the curtain to unveil a new, improved, in-depth guide to the structure-and to the careful, studied, optimal restructure-of the complex Registry and the entire suite of related BackOffice products. Network administrators will soak up all the information that Microsoft refuses to reveal: how to manipulate and manage the Registry by various methods-make prudent additions that optimize configuration-master the wide-ranging BackOffice suite-and even fathom the Top Ten "most well-kept Registry secrets."

From the Back Cover

This book and CD-ROM give you what Microsoft never will: a comprehensive guide to Registry management in Windows NT.

It's your step-by-step reference to the NT Registry's inner workings, packed with discrete details and solutions that are difficult or impossible to find elsewhere. If you've ever said, "I wish Microsoft would just publish all of the Registry entries, where to add them, why to add them, and include a little hand-holding along the way," this package answers your prayers. Because it delivers even more:

Insights into the Registry's highly complex hierarchical structure
Proven guidance on how to directly edit and manipulate the Registry
Tested methods for indirectly adding to the Registry
A real-world look at third-party management utilities
A clear understanding of all Registry topics relating to NT and the entire BackOffice suite
The "Top Ten Registry Secrets" revealed
CD-ROM full of add-ons, work-arounds, and previously undocumented fixes to help you optimize your NT setup

Based on the author's legendary Registry database and training expertise, Windows NT 4.0 Registry is the answer to endless book-and Internet-searching for Registry-specific help. It will bail you out when one NT program overwrites another--when other common Registry problems start to rain down--even if you're faced with the Windows NT Kernel-Mode Crash, better known as the Blue Screen of Death.

Excellant Book! A must reference for NT users

ByAmazon Customeron September 21, 1998

I've reviewed nearly every book on the Win32 registry and my biggest complaint has been a lack of a good reference to the registry. Finally, a book comes along to answer my needs as both a network admin and a programmer. And best of all, the complete database from the book is available on the CDROM in a searchable format.
I have only one complaint. It doesn't include Windows 95 or 98. Most of the registry entries apply to Win95/98 equally as they do NT, but many others do not. The book doesn't tell you which do or don't. And it doesn't include anything which is Win95/98 specific. Of course, to do so, they'd have to add another 300 pages which is impractical. Perhaps a volume two?

Not Perfect but compared to the others - THE BEST

ByA customeron February 14, 1999

I decided to review all of the registry books, after I had worked with them by my side for several months. I bought this books along with Tim Daniel's Book and Rob Tidrows. While this books was excessive at points with many "tedious unecessary" entries, the mere fact that it is so comprehensive allows it to stand out as the premier reference on the registry. I am extremely impressed with the exception that a books of this nature deserves a better index.

Very good easy to read reference

ByA customeron May 26, 1998

To be a good NT Administrator you must have a good reference for the registry. This is a good one. Packed with info, you'll learn something just about every page. Warning-Don't try to read it cover to cover.

This book has almost too many references but it is good. Only 1 weakness. Hard to follow the organization in some places. But overall this is remarkable!!!
