I'd like to master the registry; to understand what's what. I did well with the old .ini files but have not jumped into the registry to any extent. What would be a good source to learn all about it?

On-line, you can start with the registry guide at:

Then, browse around the TechNet section of Microsoft's web site.

To really dig into the registry in depth, I recommend that you pick up a few of the books published by O'Reilly:

Start with the "Annoyances" series and then look at the larger more in depth guides.

Oops! Wrong button! (better not do that in the registry!) Thanks for providing THREE options - from simple to advanced. I appreciate it.
