Review: Best Registry book I've seen on Win2000. I don't need an encyclopedia, I need to learn my way around the Registry and Glen Weadock's book is the best. Recommended without reservation. Great foldout map, too. Well done.

Summary: Excellent for beginners and the advanced
Review: Frankly, with my background and credentials I was embarrassed when I bought this (a "Dummies") book. Simply put, I bought it because I was sick to death of knowing absolutely nothing about the Registry (as in *ABSOLUTELY NOTHING*) and I was sick to death of those other infernal Registry books that are six centimeters thick!

Having read Mr. Weadock's book very thoroughly cover to cover, I'm now completely familiar with the MS Registry editors, how to use multiple methods to backup and restore the entire Registry (or just parts of it), and the layout and organization of the Registry. I'm now able to do things to my W2K (and NT4) machines that can only be accomplished by editing the Registry... things that have been eluding me for over two years! I'm also finding that I now know more about the Registry and the MS editors than even my most skilled colleagues.

Please, don't be afraid of this book. It's an easy and pleasant read. But also, please don't underestimate this book... it taught me enough that I've actually put a seasoned veteran or two to shame.

Summary: Great Registry primer for Windows 2000 users
Review: Glenn Weadock's Windows 2000 Registry For Dummies not only explains how the Registry works in a way that's clear and understandable, it also enables you to work with the Registry safely to customize how Windows 2000 works!

If you are (like me) the kind of person who isn't satisfied to know merely that your car starts when you turn the key -- you want to also know what's going on "under the hood" and to be able to soup it up a bit -- then this book is for you!

As an editor for the For Dummies series, I have the opportunity of working with many terrific authors, but I can say, unequivocally, that Glenn Weadock goes the extra mile to ensure that his books are as accurate possible. And that's SO important when dealing with a topic like the Windows Registry.

And, believe it or not, Weadock also manages to make the subject of the Registry fun, entertaining, and accessible. I stake my reputation on it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
