Inside the Windows 95 Registry: A Guide for Programmers, System Administrators, and Users

by RonPetrusha (Author)

Synopsis

This reference provides an in-depth examination of the Windows 95 registry, the new central storage facility for settings that replaces most of the old SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI settings found in Windows 3.x. The authors cover topics such as: customizing your Windows 95 configuration with the registry; the role of the registry in OLE, Microsoft Office, networking, and Plug and Play; repairing a corrupt registry; remote registry administration; accessing the registry API from C, C++, VxDs, and Visual Basic; and differences between the registry in Windows 95 and Windows NT. The book includes a diskette with registry tools such as REGSPY, a program that shows exactly how Windows applications, libraries, and drivers use settings in the registry.
