Customer Reviews

You won't find a better registry book than this.

This book covers the Windows Registry in superb detail. I recommend it to anyone desiring to understand how Windows uses the Registry. It will teach you how you can use the Registry to tweak the Windows user interface. Editing the Registry is safe as long as you follow the safety guidelines set forth in the early chapters of this book. Don't buy the Dummies book (or any other Dummies book for that matter) unless you are a dummy. The typical power user needs something more technical. This is the book for him.

The best book for Windows 98.

Wow! Jerry Honeycutt has written the best Registry book of any Windows version. Clear, concise, and more. What can I say. From Beginners to Experts this is a must. Worth every penny.

Very helpfull book

This book is very read able and has a lot of usefull information and tips. A must have if you are tasked to support 98 or if you have questions for personal use.

Easy to describe: Essential

I've read a couple of books on the registry. Some are strong in one area, but omit important information elsewhere. This book has it all. It is easy to understand, and covers not just the registry, but tools and techniques that are omitted by other books and Microsoft's own (weak) documentation. By the end of chapter three, I had learned more from this book than any other. Well worth the money

Easily the best book of its kind

I've read a lot of other registry books that just tell you how to do frivolous things like change the Start Menu or Control Panel icons, and I've seen even more books that give advice that doesn't work. This book has neither of those problems. It is full of useful information from front to back, and there is no fluff to slow it down. If you are a network administrator like me, you'll learn lots of great ways to remotely customize your workstations (along with Windows Scripting Host, this book has changed the way I do things). If you just want to hack your machine to make it better, this is also the best book for you.
