Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ivens scores 5 stars again!
Review: I buy any book about enterprise networks that has Kathy Ivens' name on it. Her writing is intelligent, clear, and a pleasure to read.

This book is beautifully designed to be helpful. It explains the registry generically and specifically. The most helpful registry fixes and system tweaks are included, along with references to Group Policies that affect the registry item she's discussing.

All Windows administrators should keep a copy of this book at hand, they'll use it constantly.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 5 Stars For Kathy Ivens
Review: Many IT books either address the absolute beginner or the advanced developer and completely ignore the implementer. No so with this book. Kathy Ivens wrote it for those who support networks and end users. Her writing style is straightforward and easy to comprehend. While containing no "fluff", she gives the reader plenty of useful information. She discusses how to backup and restore the registry, various registry tools, and countless tips for tweaking the registy. I used one of those tips the very day I received this book. I had just upgraded a user's operating system from Windows 95 to Windows 2000 Professional and she asked me if there was a way for the NumLock key to stay on when she was logging in. Sure enough, one of the tips in this book discusses that very thing. It took me a few seconds to modify the registry and gain a happy user! This book is a must have and I wish there were many more like it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: the book is ok, but why?
Review: This book has no information that can't be found with either a quick search on MSDN or Google, books like that just make me upset.
