Is there any website or ebook for programmers regarding registry?
Posted Wednesday, July 15, 2009 by admin
Hello friends is there any website or e-book which gives complete information about Windows XP Registry and how we can better control our system. That should not only explain the existing registry keys n values but also all the possible keys that can be created or manipulated in registry for extending the application functionalities and better system experience. I know how to manipulate the registry through programming so I don’t need the reference that teaches me this, but what we can modify and add to it to use it in the best possible way in my programming. It would be great if I get a list of keys that Group Policy Editor of Windows XP i.e., gpedit.msc manipulates in its various settings.




Since any application can use the registry to store any value for any purpose, that book would take a truck (at least) to move around. There’s no way any book could list every registry entry that every program ever written ever used. (The listing of interrupts used by DOS programs was, IIRC, around 500 pages at one point, and there are only 65,535 possible interrupts.)
