Amazon.com Review

Given the relatively undocumented nature of the Windows NT Registry, 1001 Secrets of the Windows NT Registry is a welcome addition to the power user's or system administrator's arsenal of tips and techniques for making NT behave. The book is organized much like a dictionary, with tips pertaining to various subjects such as general system behavior and applications behavior. One large section specifically focuses on Microsoft Office and another on tweaking performance. A CD-ROM provides links to a companion Web site and software tools for monitoring the Registry and recovering for corrupted and otherwise damaged registries.

This book is clearly aimed for the advanced user--only the true power user will have the fortitude to tweak the Registry at this level of detail. However, for the serious NT professional, 1001 Secrets of the Windows NT Registry is a must-have and can make a lot of difference in day-to-day NT system management.

Excellent collection of registry keys.

ByA customeron July 27, 2003

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

While not perfect, this is the best collection of registry keys I have found. Each item has a description which is short and to the point. It does not just list the key and the Microsoft explanation. The author gives a solution to a problem with most of the keys.

Keep looking...

ByA customeron March 17, 1998

Format: Paperback

Daniels takes a very "lazy" (IMHO) approach to documenting the regisrty. The author lists a large number of reg keys, a brief description of what the key does and occasionaly a list of possible settings. While there is some useful information here, the internal workings of the registry (.INF scripting and using programming to access the reg) are sorely missing. Also, some newer applications, notably Internet Explorer 4.x, are missing from the list of registry entries. If you want a list of hacks, this is your book. If you want to really *understand* the registry, look elsewhere.

beginning hackers only

ByRon Fisheron November 23, 1999

Format: Paperback

I concur with the other reviews, I bought this on whim at a trade show.. the cover looks better than the contents.. there are some good hacks in here but the author really doesn't appear to know why they work, he just appears to have stumbled on them (like a lot of us do)and documented them. I prefer better explanation when hacking such a critical core component.

It's good for beginners...

ByA customeron May 23, 1999

Format: Paperback

On first look, the book is not bad. But when you go deeper, it seems to be a collection of personal experience from other users, and already published by Microsoft entries. I would rate it as an entry level book. The NT resouce kit has a better coverage of the registry.
