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.
