Mastering Windows XP Registry

The registry has evoked emotions from terror to mystery. Few Windows XP users consider
the registry their friend. After all, think of it: The registry is the heart and soul of the
Windows XP operating system. The registry is everything-it is the brain of the operating
system. Damage the registry, and Windows XP quickly develops brain damage and needs
major surgery.

This is it-the only book on the Windows XP registry that you will need. Now, I won't kid you;
there are a few other books on the Windows registry. Every current version of Windows uses
a similar registry structure, but we do find that there are sufficient differences between them
make it difficult for one book to cover everything well.

Will you need another book or tool besides this book? Maybe not. But I do recommend that
you get Microsoft's Windows XP Resource Kit, too; it has a lot of good utilities that you will
find invaluable. The Windows XP Resource Kit also has a lot of good non-registry stuff.
This book covers the Windows XP registry from A to Z. I've covered the standard stuff, from
things that most of us should know to things that are not documented at all and are probably
only known by a very few first-rate system administrators.
