To open Control Panel you just have to type control in your open CMD window.
Here you can find a quickstep guide how to uninstall programms via command prompt in Windows 8.1
But you have to be Administrator to do this!
This also won't work if you are in Startup and repair mode!

I need to work with several terminal windows simultaneously, and it's very inconvenient to constantly have to switch between different terminal windows. Is there a way to have multiple tabs in one window? I know it's possible on macOS and Linux, but can't figure out how to configure that on Windows 10.
Yes.
You can use The new Windows Terminal or VSCode Integrated Terminal.
Windows Terminal:
In the new terminal app, you can have multiple PowerShell profiles as tabs.
so that you can work with several terminal tabs simultaneously.
The UI looks like browser tabs. You can download it from the Microsoft store or Github.

VSCode:
In Visual Studio Code, open New Terminal from Terminal Menu on Top bar.
On the right, you can Maximize panel size and can choose the terminal profiles.
The best thing about this vscode terminals is...
Along with seeing them as tabs in the right side, you can split them side by side and work on them at same time.

I'm trying to configure the Terminal Emulator on HP-UFT, but unfortunately do not know even begin.
I would want to install something before the UFT configuration?
Thank you.
You need to first create a new GUI test. If you don't, the Terminal Emulator option will not be displayed.
Launch UFT 11.5x or 12.00
Select Terminal Emulator from the addins window
Once UFT is loaded, select File>>New>>Test
Select GUI Test
Click Create button. Wait for new test to appear.
Click Tools>>Options>>GUI Test
On the left hand side, you should see Termial Emulator under Windows Applications
Click Terminal Emulator and configure as needed.
You will get more details if you'll simply search terminal emulator configuration in the UFT on google.
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.
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?
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.
