I mean it. No matter how many books you have, you are going to run across some kind of API reference that isn't documented anywhere except in the help file on the CD-ROM that doesn't work in your drive any more.<P> So keep buying those Windows books! Windows may be crappy for software development, but it's great for the book vendors.<P> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=2> <HR> <P> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD> <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=1572315482/tedgrubersoftwarA/"> <IMG SRC="richter.gif" WIDTH="112" HEIGHT="140"></A> </TD> <TD> <CENTER> <FONT SIZE="+2" COLOR="#0000FF"> Advanced Windows Programming<BR> </FONT> <FONT SIZE="+1"> Jeffrey Richter<P> </FONT> </CENTER> This is one of those books I turn to when I'm stuck.

Is it better to used canned setup programs or write your own? I'm not sure. If you try to write your own, you better know what is going on in the registry. This is a good book.

Depending on how you look at it, the Windows 95 registry is either a thing of power and beauty or a gnarled up mess. If you are going to attempt use the registry (you really should, you know) then study it and use it to it's full potential.
