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.
