Ron Petrusha's Inside the Windows 95 Registry is the perfect complement to catalogs of Registry keys such as Using the Windows 95 Registry. Rather than present a list of Registry keys and their functions, this book explains how keys work with Windows and application programs. After briefly covering the mechanics of manipulating keys with the Registry Editor and saving and restoring a working Registry, the author delves into documenting the Registry API. Explaining the Win32 functions one at a time, Petrusha explains every parameter you can attach to Registry API function calls in your programs. There is a lot of C code in this book and on the accompanying disk to increase your understanding of the subject.

Inside the Windows 95 Registry really stands out for its attention to programming Registry savvy into Windows 3.x programs, DOS programs, and Virtual Device Drivers (VxDs); its coverage of accessing the Registry API in a Visual Basic program is also worth noting. Author Petrusha gives special attention to the Desaware Registry Control, a Visual Basic control that handles many of the troubling aspects of Registry access from Visual Basic. You'll find the utilities on the companion disk eminently useful, particularly a utility called Ini2Reg that helps convert .INI files to registry entries. RegSpy95 and APISpy95 provide information on Registry accesses in run-time.

Synopsis
Petrusha covers topics such as customizing your Windows 95 configuration with the registry, the role of the registry in OLE, Microsoft Office, networking, and Plug and Play, repairing a corrupt registry, remote registry administration, accessing the registry API from C, C++, VxDs, and Visual Basic, and differences between the registry in Windows 95 and Windows NT.
