Product Description

Product Description
Designed for programmers, system administrators and network managers, this reference guide helps to fix "heavy duty" registry/server problems within Windows 95 or Windows NT. The accompanying CD-ROM contains short-cut programs to fix things quickly.

From the Publisher
The in-depth guide to the complex Windows NT registry!
For anyone that has ever wished for a single source for all of the Registry entries, where to add them, why to add them, plus a little hand-holding along the way, Computing McGraw-Hill has answered the call. WINDOWS NT 4.0 REGISTRY: A Professional Reference by Steven Thomas is a 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.

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 is the source to turn to when one NT program overwrites another, when other common Registry problems start to rain down, or even when faced with the Windows NT Kernel-Mode Crash, better known as the Blue Screen of Death. This book delivers:

· 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

The book includes a CD-ROM that is full of add-ons, work-arounds, and previously undocumented fixes to help optimize the NT setup including:

· CacheMan - A utility that allows programmers to manage and monitor the disk caching activity on Windows NT
· CONFIG SAFE - A utility that allows the tracking of every change made to the Windows NT System Configuration
· DUMPREG - A program for both NT and 95 that reports the registry information to an easy-to-use list box
· NT Crack v2.0 - a security program to use in combination with PWDUMP to test NT passwords in the same way Crack does for UNIX users
· NT Regmon - A GUI/device driver combination that together monitor and display all Registry activity on a system
· PWDUMP - A utility that dumps NT passwords from the registry into a hashed file

This book is recommended for all Windows NT Support Professionals. The Registry is helpful in troubleshooting, and it will also help those who need to implement changes to adjust the fine tuning of Windows NT. All Registry topics relating to Windows NT and the entire BackOffice suite are discussed in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Perfect but compared to the others - THE BEST, 14 Feb 1999
By A Customer
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellant Book! A must reference for NT users, 21 Sep 1998
By A Customer
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?
