How to automate the "Windows Security" window: "Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software"

This should be a simple question that should have a simple solution...yet nothing that I have tried works. My question is why? Is there a security feature in Microsoft preventing sending keys to "Security Windows"?
AutoiT attempt (does not work):
WindWait("Windows Security")
Send("{DOWN}")
Sleep(10)
Send("{ENTER}")
I have also tried/look at this question
I have tried to do this in C++ and in C# and I can only get the window to become the active window but when I send keys to it it ignores it.
Below are some of the places that I have look in order to suppress or automate this window:
Windows 7 - Disable signature verification of drivers
Permanently disable driver signature enforcement on Win 7 x64
How to disable driver signing in Windows 7 SP1
Disabling digital driver signing in Windows 7
Windows - Suppress "Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software"
All "solutions" from the above links don't work. I have been searching for an answer for more than 2 days now.
If someone can tell a successfully way to suppress/automate this I (and everyone that wants to know how to do this too) will really appreciated.
Are you able to identify the window using the Win... functions? If so you could try using MouseClick:
$aPos = WinGetPos("Windows Security")
MouseClick("left", $aPos[0]+50, $aPos[1]+100)
First get the position of the window, then add some pixels so that when you do a right-click with the mouse you click the appropriate button. Of course you need to adjust the number of pixels to add to the x-/y-axis.
I know this is old, but I just came across this issue as well.
I was able to solve it by using the following once the window was active:
ControlClick("Windows Security", "", "[CLASS:Button;INSTANCE:2]")
It did not work if I included the TEXT:&Install this driver software anyway in the control ID.

How can I open a Google Chrome application shortcut on Windows 8 start up?

Hi I have created a Google Chrome Application Short cut for a URL (in Windows 8) as detailed in Google Help under the heading Create shortcuts for other apps. I've stored the shortcut on the desktop.
I need a way of making one specific application shortcut open when Windows 8 starts up, and I'm wondering if anyone knows a way of doing this?
Thank you.
Just copy the shortcut to AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

How to fix "Unable to activate Windows Tailored application" on Win8

I get "Unable to activate Windows Tailored application" error in Metro app when I'm running it under debugger of Visual Studio 11. I installed Windows 8 x64 Developer Preview on my Dell E6510 laptop.
I googled it and found out many people saying it happens when screen resolution is smaller than 800x600 but it's 1920x1280 in my case.
The app itself contains nothing. It's just empty wizard created application which is nothing but windows with black background.
Any ideas? It seems like very common issue.
The solution was quite bizarre but I figured it out.
It turns out not a single Metro application works under Administrator account including my apps. I'm talking about built-in Administrator account that is disabled by default (but which I enabled).
It gives "Access denied" error so I suspect it's somehow related to the way WinRT COM objects were registered or something like that. Go figure.
I hope somebody from Microsoft is reading this.
Best solution is to wait 2 weeks for the next release. The developer preview is full of fun bugs like this. I've seen this error caused by invalid app.xaml. Double check that you really haven't changed anything. I've also seen this error sometimes resolved by rebooting. Have fun!

Source for a LoopingSelector for WP7

I have been looking at nice, 3 part series about LoopingSelectors by Win phone Geek and unfortunately there is a missing source link for the first part on that website.
Can someone offer to please mail it to me or paste it in here, because I don't want to reinvent it? I would apppreciate it. Thanks.
Code for other demos for LoopingSelectors would be fine too.
The LongListSelector is part of the Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit. You can download the Source & Samples for the November 2010 release, or download the latest version, which includes fixes for various controls to enable applications to pass certification (there were issues with Back key press handling).

zend studio 5.5.1 on windows xp - won't open!

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!!!!
