Summary: The best so far
Comment: As a professional dealing everyday with real world PC problems, like people locking themselves out of their own computers or tinkering with Windows till nothing really works,this book has really helped me.Glenn knows his stuff and on top he offers tips that you don't find anywhere else.I was impressed by the "reader-friendly" style of the book in general,something that you appreciate when you have to read too many times books that are simply boring.I am looking out for the next book he writes!

Summary: Right On Topic
Comment: This book is an absolute must-have for anyone embarking into an IT career. Definitely for beginners, the text covers everything you could possibly want to know about that beast called the REGISTRY. However, seasoned pros will also find some useful tidbits of knowledge tucked away in here too. The author stresses the importance of when and where to backup the registry files and he outlines several methods for accomplishing the task. Glenn Weadock guides us through the tasks of cleaning and compressing the registry to improve overall system performance. He does a fine job detailing the structure of the registry too, a read that will benefit anyone going after their MCSE. When possible, third party utilities for manipulating the registry are compared to those resident in the Windows OS; the pros and cons of each are covered in just enough detail. Beginners will enjoy this book because it's easy to read. Pros will like it because of it's organization. Easy to read and easy to use, pick this one up if you need a solid introduction to the Windows Registry.

Summary: Excellent for beginners and the advanced
Comment: 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.
