Title: Windows 98 Registry Handbook by Jerry Honeycutt ISBN: 0789719479 Publisher: MacMillan Publishing Company Pub. Date: 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.99 |

Summary: SECOND BEST REFERENCE BOOK ON REGISTRY
Comment: This book has the same strengths and weaknesses of all reference books on Windows 98. Each provides useful knowledge but none are able to cover every major procedure, issue, or problem in Windows 98. Perhaps, that is the underlining problem with Windows; too many topics to cover in one book.
I am not fond of Windows95/98/ME but there is nothing on the market that is close to it, unless you decide to join the other eight users of Apple computers.
This book provides good useful information but it does not give enough specific instructions about tweaking the registry. This book finishes a close second to "Win 98 Registry; Little Black Book" which is loaded with that type of information. I use both books and consider both very valuable reference materials.
If you plan to work in the registry, you will need this book.
Rating: 5
Summary: You won't find a better registry book than this.
Comment: This book covers the Windows Registry in superb detail. I recommend it to anyone desiring to understand how Windows uses the Registry. It will teach you how you can use the Registry to tweak the Windows user interface. Editing the Registry is safe as long as you follow the safety guidelines set forth in the early chapters of this book. Don't buy the Dummies book (or any other Dummies book for that matter) unless you are a dummy. The typical power user needs something more technical. This is the book for him.
Rating: 2
Summary: Dummies book better (surprisingly!)
Comment: This is one of those books that didn't need to be written because it adds nothing new versus the other books on the market. No glaring mistakes, but not as much value here as in 'Windows 98 Registry for Dummies'. Dummies (and I normally don't like them) covers same ground but has good CD, and foldout key map (I made mine into a mouse pad). Writing styles a matter of taste. Honeycutt is very much a Microsoft cheerleader (his Win2000 Pro book reads like one long ad). Dummies writer is more objective, wittier.
