Who's This Book For?

This book is for anyone running Windows 2000, particularly people responsible for administering networks of Windows 2000 computers or providing technical or help desk support. It's also for programmers who are familiar with the Win9x Registry and its workings but are making the move to the similar-looking but internally different Windows NT/2000 world.

To get the most out of this book, you should be familiar with the Windows 2000 user interface; you should know how to right-click, run programs, and so on. Some background as a Windows NT or Windows 2000 administrator would be useful, but it's not required.
