I'm trying to develop a desktop application which is similar to CCleaner. But I'm having problems with R&D resources...

I can't find good books about Windows Operating System Programming

Topic Examples; Explaining Windows 7 (or even 8) registry. Which registry entry turn on/off "showing desktop icons" Or, What is Windows registry defrag?, How can you defrag registry?, How can you optimize windows startup for( Windows 7 ) etc.

I googled my questions, find msdn-some stackoverflow topics etc. But I can't find a book about low-level explaining current windows 7 operating system...

What I'm missing ?

Thanks for your any input... and sorry, I don't know is this the right place to ask that question, but I asked anyway...
