Not Good
Please inform me when someone writes a decent book on the registry. This one doesn't fit the bill either. We need practical examples that are organized in a useful manner, like "Controlling the User Interface", "Network Services", "File Associations", and "Shared DLL Handling". I will be waiting with bated breath. Until then, save your money on this book.

GREAT BOOK
This book has more unknown registry settings than any other Registry Book. The first discovery of Flag settings are discussed and are invaluable when trying to program the Windows Interface or programatically controlling the control panel applets. It even shows how to create your own policies using settings in the Policy chapter. GREAT BOOK !!!

Documentation of the obvious
The bulk of the book is devoted to describing the Registry entries controlled by the Control Panel interfaces and other applets. Approximately 25% of the volume is a raw dump of a NT registry. If you are looking for how to enable command completion in a DOS window, or other interesting tidbits, this is not the book. One of the few books I've ever found so useless that I've bothered to return it -- fortunately, Amazon.com makes returns quite painless.
