The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Inside the Windows 95 Registry':

Reviewer amazon.com wrote:
To take full advantage of 32-bit Windows, programmers need to know their way around the Registry, the centralized repository for information about the PC, operating system, and applications. With sample code in both C and Visual Basic, Inside the Windows 95 Registry explains how you can use the Registry to store application-specific data, add options to the File/New menu in the Windows Explorer, register OLE components, and support dynamic changes to hardware configuration via Plug and Play--and much more.
Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
Petrusha's objective is to provide information for software developers creating registry enabled applications. He certainly does that, and developers should be glad. However, intermediate to advanced Windows 95 users will find this book to be worth some investigation as well. Just as DOS users were getting used to searching for, and modifying, .INI files, Windows 95 collects everything into the registry, and changes the configuration requirements once again. (Well, yes, NT did it first. But Windows 95 has leapfrogged NT in this regard.) You will want to follow along in your system as you work with the book. Petrusha's explanations are designed with the developer in mind, and can be terse. Nevertheless, the small systems administrator or power user will find a lot of useful information here. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
