Lock Windows screen orientation for fullscreen Air application

Is it possible to prevent the reorientation behavior of Windows? (Windows 8 on a Surface Pro in particular.)
I'm already setting a few flags that I thought would help, but no luck:
application settings xml:
<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
<aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
<resizable>false</resizable>
<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
... is there anything else I can do to keep Windows 8 oriented to landscape while my fullscreen air app is in focus?

ShellExecute fails opening On Screen Keyboard with UAC enabled

I am trying to programmatically open the windows 7 on screen keyboard (osk.exe) from my program.
I found a good guide for this on this page and it works quite well when UAC is turned off.
When UAC is turned on, it is not opening the program at all however, and I can't find why. No UAC prompt is shown when opening the keyboard from the start menu, so it doesn't appear to need administrative privileges.
Is it just because the executable is located in the windows system folder, and if so, is there another way to launch a program that would work?
The error returned is 3, ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND, possibly because 'sysnative' path is not working with UAC enabled.
Trying to run "osk.exe" without path also fails, with an error "Could not start the On Screen Keyboard"
Finally, running "C:\Windows\system32\osk.exe" fails with error code 5: SE_ERR_ACCESSDENIED when I tried to use it with redirection turned off (as suggested in this question)
I tested the c++ code sample you refer to in your message. The routine started either from VS devenv or as a standalone exe did always show the on-screen keyboard under any available UAC mode. My OS: Windows 7 Ult. SP1 64-bit.

How does cygwin's "-mwindows" switch work in windows 7?

I am building an FLTK application in Windows XP under cygwin.
When I pass "-mwindows" to the linker, it behaves as advertized, and I don't get the command window popping up. However, when i run the same application under windows 7, a black console window pops up as if I hadn't passed -mwindows! does anyone know how i can debug this problem?
Thanks,
Woody
ak2 was right, i needed to update Cygwin.

Why is the system tray icon for my program not visible in Windows 7?

I'm unable to find system tray icon for my program after the installation . I could see that In Windows XP, it works just fine: the user can launch a program by clicking on the same.
However, in Windows 7 (both Home and Ultimate editions), the icon is not shown in system tray , but it works after I reboot my machine.
I have tried putting the code to refresh shell icons in the installer script, but this does not seem to have fixed the problem.
Can anyone help me on this??
PS: I use NSIS script for my installer.
Is it simply hidden in the pop-up that opens when you click the little arrow?
If not, is your program actually running at all?
If your program is running, use Process Explorer to check its integrity level (the Integrity column in Process Explorer). After you reboot and the icon appears, does the process have the same integrity level as when it didn't appear?
