O'Reilly's newest release, Managing the Windows NT Registry, is the system administrator's guide to maintaining, monitoring, and updating the Registry database.
Managing the Windows NT Registry covers vital issues such as:
- Disaster recovery
- Available tools (Resource Kit utilities as well as the Registry Editors: Regedit, RegEdt32, and the System Policy Editor)
- How to edit and secure the Registry on both local and remote computers
- Creating Registry-aware tools and scripts
- How to access the Registry from a program (includes examples in C++, Visual Basic, and Perl)
- Registry content
- Undocumented keys
In addition to "a wealth of essential registry tips and management strategies that NT administrators will find indispensable" (Sean Daily, Contributing Editor, Windows NT Magazine), a web site associated with the book provides a searchable "living" database of registry keys.
