Undocumented Windows NT
Undocumented Windows NT®Although Microsoft Windows NT is one of the most popular operating systems in the corporate world, no book has documented what actually goes on under the hood — until now. In this groundbreaking guide, three experts share what they've dug up on NT through years of hands-on research and programming experience. Undocumented Windows NT dissects the Win32 interface, deconstructs the underlying APIs, and deciphers the Memory Management architecture to help you understand operations, fix flaws, and enhance performance. The authors' in-depth investigation uncovers both the strengths and the weaknesses — and reveals how you can make any Windows NT system more stable and secure.
