Summary: For end-users, not developers
Comment: The blurb on the back cover claims that this book is for "application developers, system administrators and even power users" but the claims would be better stated the other way round. This is a book written by an end-user, not a Microsoft insider, and is primarily concerned with explaining Shell features of the registry that the author has "discovered". It is reasonably well organised but reads like a compendium of the tips and tricks columns that one sees in popular magazines - how to customise icons, context menus, the desktop, etc.

If you are an end-user and want a consolidated source of this sort of information this book may be for you. If you are a developer who wants to understand the logical structure of the registry and the conventions for storing your own data in it then look elsewhere.

Rating: 3
Summary: Not for the serious developer
Comment: As mentioned in other reviews, this book is not for the serious developer. It is for an end-user. For developers I would recommend the book "Inside the Windows 95 Registry" by Ron Petrusha, published by O'Reilly and Associates.

Rating: 2
Summary: Es una buena introducción de lo que es el Registry
Comment: Es un buen trabajo, pero es muy básico y especialmente a mí me ha dejado sabor a poco. Particularmente yo necesitaba algo más técnico y profundo.
