Synopsis
This manual seeks to help users to unlock the full potential of the Windows 98 Registry file. It acquaints readers with the Registry's organization, and covers customizing the Registry without even using the Registry Editor (though readers who want to use the Editor will find the information they need here too). The book also covers the Registry Checker feature that allows readers to back-up and restore Registry and system configuration files. The accompanying CD-ROM includes a free trial version of Norton Utilities, including Norton Registry Editor and Registry Tracker. It also contains a number of free utilities and registry assistance tools.
