Lite for what it's titled
I was looking for a book that would provide me with a definitive list of options to control a workstation, e.g., set dependencies between services, how to remove objects from the control panel, enhance security for the workstation. This book was more of an outline of the registry with a spattering of hints toward optimization. The author did present a good comparison between the platforms on the topics that were covered. This is not what I would expect in a book titled "Optimizing...".

A great book!
I echo the comments of the previous two reviewers. Started using the book the moment it came out of the box and have found NT capabilities I've wanted to turn on (or off) for years. Kathy Ivens writes with great clarity

A very good source for registry structure and design
This book explains the organization and content of the registry. Information regarding "do's and dont's" concerning editing is included. It offers helpful information regarding the relationships between control panel and the registry entries. The presentation of system policy editing is very clear and easy to follow. The differences between the WIN95, WIN98 and NT4.0 registrys are clearly defined. A cross reference or expanded index would increase the value of this book for troubleshooting and diagnosis.
