A slightly weird question, and not one relating to programming, but a rather GUI based question.
I would like to change the Windows XP Ribbon Image, that appears at the Classic Logon Screen for Windows XP.
See the attatched images for more info.
This is completely possible, I have seen it done before, it will be somewhere In the registry.
Thanks,
Dan
First, the bitmaps are actually contained within a dll, but the part you are concerned with is not one bitmap image. The whole box is composed of a bitmap image on top, a little bitmap to the left, and text strings all contained in this dll.
c:\windows\system32\msgina.dll
I followed this document, and downloaded "Resource Hacker" (linked on the page) to edit the dll.
http://www.infocellar.com/winxp/customize-logon-screen.htm
To anyone trying this: BACKUP MSGINA.DLL BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.
The exact bitmap depends on the version, and frankly, I am not which one it is. Note that the bitmap only covers the top half of the login box. The rest is still contained within the msgina.dll, and can also edited using Resource Hacker. If you are using XP Pro, the image you probably want is in Bitmap>101 or 107.
You can use use Resource Hacker to copy out the bitmap, and to bring it back in.
The string text is contained in String Table>114.

I have windows 10 installed. I open many application at once for my work and I can access then form my task bar. Task is at right side of the screen but it do not show all the icons at once instead it show a scroll bar. I have increased the width of taskbar still it is not showing all icons. Is there any other setting needs to be changed?
Please refer screenshot below.
The answer is: no, you cannot - at least not for the application icons pinned directly to the taskbar. If you add another symbols folder to the task bar, then you can do this, see:

I never used a vertical taskbar before on Windows (maybe you come from Ubuntu Unity desktop?), but I just tried the idea from the first link and it works. Here is a screenshot from my experiment:
In combination with small taskbar symbols you could achieve a more compact view.
Another option is to deactivate the title (here: "Desktop") and symbol titles for the taskbar folder, then it looks like this:

Microsoft released Windows terminal as a Microsoft Store app. How to add it to the context menu or replace 'Open Powershell window here' with it ?
There might have been several approaches discussed everywhere, but none of them is up-to-date nor offers flexibility. So I started a new open source project and provided two PowerShell scripts to help.
https://github.com/lextm/windowsterminal-shell
You can run install.ps1 as administrator in PowerShell 7 to easily add the default layout.
There are other layouts (mini and flat at this moment).
Uninstall the menu items are also easy with uninstall.ps1.
The Win-X Menu shortcuts are stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\WinX and in the Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellCompatibility\InboxApp part of the registry, but the file explorer option is the one that really dictates what happens in the Win-X menu. I do not suggest just adding and changing stuff in the WinX folder because you could mess things up, however, the winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.30 app in the link provides a way in which you wouldn't mess it up. Either way, you should put "%programfiles%\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_0.11.1121.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WindowsTerminal.exe" in either a shortcut in the WinX folder, or in the app named accordingly.

I am working on making a large multi-touch table which is powered by Windows 10. I have the idea that multiple people could work on the table at once, on different windows. The problem is, Windows 10 only allows one windows to be focused at once. This makes it impossible for more than one person to work on it at once, as the focus would keep changing, and it would not work well at all. I was wondering if there is some way to make multiple windows 'focused' at the same time.
Thanks in advance for any help given.
I cannot give you a definitive answer on this, but I looked into using several mice and keyboards on windows a while ago, and the main problem was that you could not have several windows focussed at the same time, which messed up keyboard input. I have found no solution to this.
Since in windows 10 touch input is similar to mouse input, your only getaway may be virtualization.
E. G. have each window run by a virtual machine which has been assigned one keyboard and one mouse. This way, every window would respond to input whenever (focussed or not)
As for touch input, I guess you have one single input device, but the virtual machines may be able to read input form the screen while out of focus (I never tried this)

I had filled in an application form in which I made a payment and copied the application number by "Ctrl+C" command (and unfortunately I didn't note it anywhere).
And after that I copied some other thing but I didn't notice my application number has washed off from the temporary memory. I even tried to login but was unsuccessful.
I now need help: is there any method to print all copied things (I have not copied any file only some text like email id's and else). I have not turned off my PC since that. Please tell is there any method to print on note pad or any other?
Windows Systems do not save the clipboard history. There is only one item stored in the clipboard. If you copy something new the previous clipboard contents is overwritten and lost forever. To get the full Microsoft clipboard history you need to use third-party utilities such as clipdiary or Clipboard History extension.

I'm having a problem with the contextual menu (right click menu) on Windows 10. It seems that the item text disappears sometimes:
Other time, the menu itself doesn't work at all.
I've googled for answers but none of the suggested solutions worked. One thread that seems to describe the same problem was this one:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/3fejwo/windows_10_context_menu_glitch/
So I'm hoping (though it might be cruel to do so) that someone else have encountered the same problem and might have a solution for this annoying bug.
It looks like GDI has run out of resources. Open Task Manager, go to the Details pane and show the GDI Objects column and see if any process has more than a few hundred.
...or it's a GPU driver glitch, try using a different driver version. In a worst-case-scenario your physical GPU might be damaged, try using your internal GPU (Intel HD Graphics) and see if that helps.
