Windows Today Screen: Disable Screen

One more small tip:

to disable the today screen and prohibit a user from starting anything from there, simply change the following registry keys:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today]
“Enabled”=dword:00000001

change this to

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today]
“Enabled”=dword:00000000

But be warned, the today screen will not refresh and so the background will not refresh. If you leave (minimize) an app, the screen may partially not refresh.

Hello

I just started this blog. I will import the existing stuff from hjgode.de/dev from time to time. But now, here is my first post.

Microsoft decided to discontinue GAPI. That is OK for me, as I only use GXOpenInput and GXCloseInput to disable the hijacking of function keys and to have a kiosk application that dies the user not reach the OS.
