Superb book on the Windows 95 file system internals

I first found this book when I was trying to write two VxDs on Windows 95 in 1997. One of them was using IFSMgr's hook and redirected the file system functions. Mr Stan Mitchell's book helped me a lot to discover under the hood materials on the issue. And his sample file system driver in the companion diskette was essential for me to find the missing clues. I think this book is two thumbs up for anyone who are interested in Windows 95 file system!

The Book Delivers the facts in a well organized fashion

Stan Mitchell sheds a lot of light on the "behind the sceens" inner workings of the Windows 95 File system. This book is not for the faint of heart! By end of Chapter 1 you're waist deep in the IFSMgr. Stan Mitchell provides an excellent utility with the book, MultiMon, that allows you to see what's really going on at the Ring - 0 level of Windows 95. This utility alone is worth the price of the book. If your an advanced Windows programmer and your looking for a great resource book, "Inside the Windows 95 File System" delivers the facts clearly and without a bunch of fluff
