Book Description Remember the Wizard of Oz? Microsoft's Windows NT Registry is like him: powerful, well-hidden, and disdainful of being approached by mere mortals. But Steven Thomas has pierced the curtain to unveil a new, improved, in-depth guide to the structure-and to the careful, studied, optimal restructure-of the complex Registry and the entire suite of related BackOffice products. Network administrators will soak up all the information that Microsoft refuses to reveal: how to manipulate and manage the Registry by various methods-make prudent additions that optimize configuration-master the wide-ranging BackOffice suite-and even fathom the Top Ten "most well-kept Registry secrets." Synopsis If there is a configuration problem when a person is using Windows 95 or NT, the registry appears on the screen alerting him to the problem. Microsoft doesn't tell how to fix the problem, and that's why registry books sell so well. This is the only book that programmers will ever need to repair these "heavy-duty" registry/server problems. The CD-ROM contains short-cut programs to fix things quickly. From the Back Cover This book and CD-ROM give you what Microsoft never will: a comprehensive guide to Registry management in Windows NT. It's your step-by-step reference to the NT Registry's inner workings, packed with discrete details and solutions that are difficult or impossible to find elsewhere. If you've ever said, "I wish Microsoft would just publish all of the Registry entries, where to add them, why to add them, and include a little hand-holding along the way," this package answers your prayers. Because it delivers even more: Insights into the Registry's highly complex hierarchical structure: Proven guidance on how to directly edit and manipulate the Registry; Tested methods for indirectly adding to the Registry; A real-world look at third-party management utilities; A clear understanding of all Registry topics relating to NT and the entire Backoffice suite; The "Top Ten Registry Secrets" revealed; CD-ROM full of add-ons, work-arounds, and previously undocumented fixes to help you optimize your NT setup. Based on the author's legendary Registry database and training expertise, Windows NT 4.0 Registry is the answer to endless book-and Internet-searching for Registry-specific help. It will bail you out when one NT program overwrites another-when other common Registry problems start to rain down-even if you're faced with the Windows NT Kernel-Mode Crash, better known as the Blue Screen of Death.
