I recently downloaded JAWS Accessibility Program to try to check how screen readers read my website and then it changed some display/graphics settings. It changed my context menu style from Immersive Context Menu to the old-looking classic Context Menu.
I want this:
This is what I have:
I tried editing the registry and turning "ImmersiveContextMenu" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\FlightedFeatures to 1
Downloading Windows ISO and installing windows on top of the current install (I don't want to reset my PC)
I tried scf /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
I don't have a restore point before the time I installed the app.

I am trying to take screenshots of the license information of the application before installing it onto my test window os.
When I click on the installer, the publisher window pops up asking me whether I want to launch the installer or not; But when I want to take screenshots or printscreen using keyboard shortcuts it doesn't work.
It seems that the keyboard shortcuts is disabled during this pop up install dialog.
All I want is to take screenshots at the publisher certificate information before installing the application.
Can anyone with experience on windows help?
UAC: If you are referring to the UAC prompt that shows up first to ask for elevation, then it happens on a secure desktop separate from your main one and hence the screen shot appears impossible. This separate desktop is a security measure. In actual fact it is perhaps the core security measure added to Windows in recent years (don't turn it off permanently).
Disable UAC Temporarily: You can disable this security measure temporarily so you can take a screenshot as described here: How to get a UAC screenshot. Here is a sample screen shot of a UAC prompt for an MSI installation: Numeric file name for msi created with Wix
Here is the essential procedure inlined:
Run gpedit.msc
Locate: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\SecurityOptions:
Change "User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation" to disabled
Undo this change after the screenshot or your system will be very insecure!
I tried to install Windows 10 kiosk mode for the user "kiosk" without success, the assigned access app selection list is empty.
Here is what I have done: I used the "administrator" account and created an Universal Windows App with Visual Studio 2015 (I just compiled the empty project, I do not added code). I built an App package and installed the app from/for the "kiosk" account.
Back in the "administrator" account, I tried to set up the assigned access. I added the user "kiosk" and followed the assigned access settings. But there is no App in the selection for the account "kiosk".
I also switched the "kiosk" account to an administrator account, but the list of Apps is still empty. Log in and log out still did not solved the problem.

Never use windows native koisk mode - it is useless. Best solution is shell replacing. Just build windows forms application and use it as shell. Not windows store app. Here the instruction:
Create user for kiosk mode:
net user kiosk /ADD
Set next registry key for this user as path to your application (you need to login as kiosk user and run script OR load this user registry in regedit):
Windows XP/7/10:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Shell"="C:\\full\\path\\to\\your\\application.exe>"
Windows 8:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"Shell"="C:\\full\\path\\to\\your\\application.exe>"
Autologin for kiosk user:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"ForceAutoLogon"="1"
"DefaultUserName"="kiosk"
"DefaultDomainName"="<place here pc hostname>"
"DefaultPassword"=""
[Option] If you need to disable Ctrl+Alt+Del, then use this registry key value ("") or you can place there own application:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\taskmgr.exe]

I have tried to install a shell DLL in Windows7 using innosetup (installation script). To apply the shell changes I have restarted the explorer by using batch file (during installation).
It seems working on WindowsXP and Windows2003 without any issue. But in Windows7 once the explorer restarted all the taskbar icons like skype, google talk,.. (except Network and Audio icons) are closed. But all those applications are running fine. Even I click on the particular application (say skype) in start menu, it wont appear on taskbar. Only way is, need to stop the application in taskbar and again start it.
Is there any way to fix this.
Note:
I am running the installer with admin rights. Also I have tried to run the following commands in Windows7 'Administrator Command Prompt' to restart the explorer.
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
explorer.exe
The same results happen. All the icons are closed in taskbar. But if I start the explorer via taskmanager this issue wont occur.
Note sure whether it is related to my installation setup (the same commands I am using in my batch file and used to run during installation)
Is there any way to fix this issue.?? I want to install without closing the taskbar icons..
Is it possible that your icon is in the overflow area? Click on the little "uparrow" chevron on the left of the notification area and see if your icon is in there.
I have been using zend studio 5.5.1 for the last year and and a half (on windows xp), with some occasional issues, such as a blank error dialog box when I started the program, but always went away when i restarted my computer, and usually got messages about javaw.exe errors.
But now, the program does not open at all. What happens is, I get a little dialog that says Loading project - this is normal... but then, nothing. The zend program item is sitting in the taskbar, but when i click on it - nothing! there is nothing to show. i can right click and press close, but that is all.
restarting computer did not help. i just uninstalled it, downloaded again from zend website, and reinstalled. tried opening - get loading box, seems to have loaded, even got tip of the day box. but there is nothing showing behind them. once i closed the tip box, i dont have any indication that zend is open besides the program item in the taskbar. windows task manager says it is running...
anyone have a clue? help!!! thanks
UPDATE:
I found this blog post with a fix for Linux... I am a windows user and that is greek to me, anyone who can translate for me what I can do for windows?
wow, did a google search for the equivalent of rm -r ZDE as suggested in the link above, and then I typed the following in the cmd prompt: rmdir /s ZDE
voila! it works!!!!
Running Zend Studio 5.5.1 on Windows 7:
