I am having some trouble finding good books or websites that have good easy to understand information for someone who is relatively new to the Microsoft Registry(I have a basic understanding of what the registry is and does and have made a few minor edits). I have found the following books but they seem geared more for IT Pro's. Can anyone suggest any resources that might help me top start to learn about the registry?? I already know all the dire warnings about messing with the registry....I am ready to tackle it. Any info anyone could provide would be much appreciated. Thanks!! Here are the books I have already found....if anyone can suggest anything else that would be great.... Mastering the Windows XP Registry by Hipson Microsoft Windows Registry Guide by Honeycutt Windows XP Registry: A complete Guide to Customizing and Optomizing Windows XP

It's about 2" thick (in paperback) but is filled with a wealth of information. -------------------- - John If you need a more detailed explanation, please ask for it. I have the Knack.
