Appendix B
How to Use the CD-ROM

The CD-ROM is set up to run automatically under Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. If Autorun is enabled on your machine, you should be able to insert the disk into your CD-ROM drive, and it will start automatically. If Autorun is disabled on your machine, you can launch a Web browser and open Index.html, which is located at the root level of the CD-ROM. We have provided Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 on the CD-ROM for you to install if you don’t have a Web browser.

CD-ROM Contents

The disk is organized in HTML and can be navigated with any Web browser. It includes separate pages with information and links to Windows NT registry Web sites, listservers, and newsgroups. In addition, the CD includes source code and programs

Source Code

  Regrem.zip — The REGREM is an example utility written in C that demonstrates remote registry administration. This utility queries the registry of a remote Windows NT computer. The program prints (to the screen) a copy of the network configuration settings for a remote Windows NT computer. Regrem.zip contains all the files you need to compile Regrem.exe
  CDAutoff.zip — This zip file contains files that show you how to use batch files to configure the registry automatically. It lets you avoid manually changing the registry using a registry editor. The good news is you can run an INF-type install from the logon.bat file.

Programs

  RegAdmin — RegAdmin Pro is a part of Administrator Assistant Tool Kit (A2NT), a set of tools that substantially facilitates security administration of NT-based networks. It gives an administrator functions that native NT tools lack. A2NT currently consists of FileAdmin, RegAdmin and ScanNT.
  Ini2Reg — The purpose of Ini2Reg is to migrate existing applications from 16-bit Windows (most of which used INI files to save user settings) to the 32-bit Windows (Windows 95 and NT) registry.
  Ntdure — A small program that allows an NT administrator to change the settings easily for the following default items: Screen Saver File, Screen Saver Active, Screen Saver Timeout, Wallpaper file, Wallpaper tiled, Allow a shutdown at the login prompt, Legal Notice Prompt text, Legal Notice Prompt caption.
  NTRegmon — NTRegmon is a GUI/device driver combination that monitors and displays all Registry activity on a system. It has advanced filtering and search capabilities that make it a powerful tool for exploring the way NT works, seeing how applications use the Registry, and tracking down problems in system or application configurations.
  RegeditX — The Registry Editor extensions “extend” the Registry Editor included with Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. A combo box is inserted into the Registry Editor; the box remembers the keys you have edited and lets you return to them quickly.
  RegSrch — Registry Search + Replace (Regsrch.exe) is a Win32 utility that simplifies maintenance of the Windows NT and Windows 95 registration databases.
