Windows 98 can't bang two rocks together without consulting the Registry, and Windows 98 Registry Handbook documents the Registry very well. If you suspect there's a way to accomplish something in Windows 98, take a look at this book. In addition to providing information about the Registry itself, the book features lengthy discussions about software tools for working with the Registry, especially by using Norton Registry Editor, TweakUI, and the standard Microsoft editor.

Author Jerry Honeycutt carefully documents the contents of the Registry. He explains what each of the Registry's six hives contains, digging down through the subsidiary branches to provide lists of hundreds of entries. His commentary is sharp too--he explains what many of the entries mean and details how to modify them to achieve various results.

Windows 98 Registry Handbook also provides a collection of Registry recipes. Honeycutt reveals how to modify the order in which the contents of the Start menu appear. He tells how to disable the Run and Find commands in the Start menu too--a real attraction for corporate administrators. Honeycutt also reveals how you can make Windows 98 automatically flush its list of recently-used documents each time it starts up. He even shows enterprising users how to get around the roadblocks that crop up when a system administrator has tried to make it difficult to edit the Registry. The list goes on. --David Wall
