Figure 4-25

Figure 4-25 is a duplicate of Figure 4-26 and depicts the "By Folder" tab ... so Fig 4-26 is correct and Fig 4-25 is wrong since it does not depict the "By Path" tab (as the caption and textual context indicate).

Note from the Author or Editor:
Figure 4-25 is the wrong image.

2nd paragraph

ATTENTION: "530" is an eBook position (Kindle), not a page number.

Chapter "The History of Sysinternals", second paragraph, first sentence, reads "... under the hood while at the same providing some useful ..."

It probably should read "... under the hood while at the same time providing some useful ..."

Note from the Author or Editor:
The word "time" should be inserted: "...under the hood while at the same time providing some useful..."

Last sentence of "Mark's Webcasts"

The last sentence states "... are included on this book's companion media."

But there is no CD (the assumed companion media) provided/bundled with this book ... which begs the question, what other items are missing from the alleged media bundle ?

Note from the Author or Editor:
The last sentence of the paragraph should be removed. There is no companion media with the book.
