There is no such a keyboard shortcut but holding `Ctrl` + clicking on the icon in the taskbar repeatedly will cycle through that program&#39;s open windows.

See https://superuser.com/questions/435602/shortcut-in-windows-7-to-switch-between-same-applications-windows-like-cmd.

Scott&#39;s answer is the closest one I&#39;ve found to doing this.  To summarize what he said:

**Win + n where n is the number position of the application in the TaskBar.** 
 Then to cycle through, keep Win down and press n again.

Use &lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;Esc&lt;/kbd&gt; for fast switching without any GUI pop up

Maybe related: If you want that the windows open directly when click on the stacked taskbar symbol (instead of opening the list), you can add the DWORD &quot;`LastActiveClick`&quot; to 

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

and set it to 1.

Assume I have an activity with three different layouts in different resource folders. For example:

&gt;&lt;code&gt;layout-land/my_act.xml&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&gt;&lt;code&gt;layout-xlarge/my_act.xml&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&gt;&lt;code&gt;layout-xlarge-land/my_act.xml&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;

In different devices and different positions one of them is selected by Android.&lt;br&gt;How can I find out which one is selected _programmatically_?

Does Android have any API that returns these layouts to the program?

How can I detect which layout is selected by Android in my application?

I&#39;m using a [Java scrypt library](https://github.com/wg/scrypt) for password storage. It calls for an `N`, `r` and `p` value when I encrypt things, which its documentation refers to as &quot;CPU cost&quot;, &quot;memory cost&quot; and &quot;parallelization cost&quot; parameters. Only problem is, I don&#39;t actually know what they specifically mean, or what good values would be for them; perhaps they correspond somehow to the -t, -m and -M switches on [Colin Percival&#39;s original app](http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt.html)?

Does anyone have any suggestions for this? The library itself lists N = 16384, r = 8 and p = 1, but I don&#39;t know if this is strong or weak or what.

What are optimal scrypt work factors?

I would have expected this to be a very simple task: switching between windows of the same application, but I can&#39;t seem to find the shortcut to do it. I generally have several windows of applications like Chrome (each window holding all the tabs related to a particular topic). 

The behaviour I am looking for is what is implemented in Mac OSX with the Cmd+~ keyboard shortcut.

Is there a way to achieve the same on Windows 7?

It looks like the only 64 bit windows installer for Numpy is for Numpy version 1.3.0 which only works with Python 2.6

http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/

It strikes me as strange that I would have to roll back to Python 2.6 to use Numpy on Windows, which makes me think I&#39;m missing something.

Am I?

I want to write a list of windows commands(it&#39;s a long list) where it does all these magical things for me, but whenever I use copy, it stops to ask fro overwrite prompt. When I type yes, it overwrites the old file then just stops there.

How do I make it such that whenever the windows sees the copy command, it just overwrites the old file without that prompt?

is there any way to force copy? copy without overwrite prompt, using windows?

With the help of `Sertac Akyuz`, it seems the direct reason is related to the charset of `\bullet`: In my localized Windows, the `\bullet` input by typing Alt(0149) always gets `\fcharset134`, and attempts to change its font through `EM_SETCHARFORMAT` always fail (well, the color, size, style can indeed be changed but not font family name).

The simplest workaround is therefore to first reset the charset and then change the font. 

Note: RichEdit **(version &gt;= 4.1)** should be used! 

Note: RichEdit versions can be found at MSDN&#39;s [ About Rich Edit Controls][1], Murray Sargent&#39;s MSDN Blog [RichEdit versions][2] and [RichEdit Versions Update to 7.0][3]. The latter pages mentioned RichEdit versions higher than 4.1. As a test, I copied the RICHED20.DLL shiped with Office 2010 together with the application to Windows 2000, and everything works like a charm!

    procedure TMainForm.ButtonFontClick(Sender: TObject);
    var

      if dlgFontCdxTxt.Execute then
      begin
        FillChar(format, sizeof(format), 0);
        format.cbSize:= Sizeof(format);
        format.dwMask:= CFM_CHARSET;
        format.bCharSet := 1; // or 0;
        redtTextBlock.Perform(EM_SETCHARFORMAT, SCF_SELECTION, Integer(@format));
    
        FillChar(format, sizeof(format), 0);
        format.cbSize:= Sizeof(format);
        format.dwMask:= CFM_FACE;
        StrPLCopy(format.szFaceName, dlgFontCdxTxt.Font.Name, High(format.szFaceName));
        redtTextBlock.Perform(EM_SETCHARFORMAT, SCF_SELECTION, Integer(@format));
      end;
      redtTextBlock.SetFocus;
    end;

==================================================

According to [Wikipedia][4], `WordPad` used Microsoft&#39;s `RichEdit` control, versions 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 in Windows 95, 98 and Windows 2000, respectively. In Windows XP SP1 and later, WordPad uses RichEdit 4.1, including Windows 7. 

Say a rtf document, being edited in WordPad, contains a non-text character Alt(0149), `the bullet dot •`. (Or U+2022)

In Windows 2000 SP4 or XP SP2, the font of that bullet dot can only take the default font of WordPad. That is to say, one cannot change font for that bullet dot interactively in WordPad. 

However, in Windows 7 SP1, one could change its font by `first changing to &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;`, and then to any desired font unlimited times. 

![Wordpad_1][5]
![WordPad_2][6]
![WordPad_3][7]

Furthermore, WordPad document created using WordPad in Windows 7 that contains different fonts of the dot can be opened and viewed correctly in WordPad in Windows 2000 or XP.

The TRichEdit (Delphi XE, Windows 7) can also open and view the WordPad document created using WordPad in Windows 7 correctly by `TRichEdit.Lines.LoadFromFile`.

![TRichEdit_1][8]

Interactively, the TRichEdit (Delphi XE, Windows 7) allows `the bullet dot`&#39;s font to be changed to &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;. However, one cannot go further to change to other fonts interactively in TRichEdit.
![TRichEdit_2][9]
![TRichEdit_3][10]
![TRichEdit_4][11]

I am therefore wondering (1) the reason of the different behavior of WordPad in Windows 7, and (2) whether it is possible to make TRichEdit behave alike?

PS: One may need type Alt(0149) several times to get the dot in WordPad. Typing 2022 and Alt+x always works, as suggested [here][12]. 

PS: One need to &quot;activate&quot; the fonts in WordPad as mentioned in the answer of [Why TFontDialog gives less fonts than Screen.Fonts?][13]

PS: One can always change the dot to different fonts in Word.

How to make TRichEdit behave like WordPad on Windows 7 when changing font for certain non-text characters?

I know that everyone uses an IDE nowadays, but I just find it simpler to write my code in notepad++, compile it using a command prompt command, and run it from there too. At least that works for Java and Python. I&#39;ve tried to get my head around how to do that with C++, and haven&#39;t been able to find anything good. Is there any compiler (like Java&#39;s JDK) that I can stick into my path and use the C++ equivalent of `javac` and `java` to run and compile my code from CMD?

Note: please don&#39;t post answers and comments about how IDEs are better - I know they are. I&#39;m just used to doing it the old way :D

When I start up an Experimental instance of VS from VS for debugging and stop debugging (sometimes directly from the parent VS), a zombile devenv.exe process remains running which I am unable to kill. It holds on to many of my dlls.

As I am logged onto this 64bit Win7 machine as Administrator, I would expect to be able to kill any process I wish to.

    I tried (from Administrator command prompt):
    
    End Task from Task Manager.
    TASKKILL /F /IM devenv.exe
    PSKILL devenv.exe

None return any error and `TASKKILL` and `PSKILL` returned success messages of terminating/killing the process. But devenv.exe still runs, it is not re-spawned as the `PID` remains constant. It goes away only on restart of the system which is not a great solution.

Note. LockHunter shows devenv has got a lock on itself. And it cannot unlock it.

Does anyone know if there are existing templates or libraries to add a &quot;Modern UI&quot; look and feel to my WPF applications?

Making WPF applications look Metro-styled, even in Windows 7? (Window Chrome / Theming / Theme)

I am facing a strange problem. I have scheduled a task to lauch a batch file. When I run the task with option `Run only when user is logged on` everything works fine. but I want to run this task in background and hence i am running it using the option `Run whether user is logged on or not`. Now when i run the task it is not working. I get following 2 errors. I don&#39;t understand this error. Please help me resolve this issue.


     Task Scheduler failed to launch action &quot;C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\cmd.exe&quot; in instance &quot;{2a7cc950-fad9-4633-9701-af75a0fd220d}&quot; of task &quot;\stmm\Daemon&quot;. Additional Data: Error Value: 2147942667.
     Task Scheduler failed to start instance &quot;{2a7cc950-fad9-4633-9701-af75a0fd220d}&quot; of &quot;\stmm\Daemon&quot;  task for user &quot;GBLADHEDANI\N011940&quot; . Additional Data: Error Value: 2147942667.

Using the GitHub Windows client I did a *sync* to pull remote changes to my local machine, but before finishing the sync, I ran out of disk space and the sync failed.  Now I seem to have a bunch of local changes that are actually changes that were being pulled from origin.  I tried to run git pull but got:

	C:\Users\Tom\SourceLog [master +4 ~26 -0 !]&gt; git pull
	Updating b3a86e1..5afd74f
	error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
			SourceLog.Interface/IChangedFile.cs
			SourceLog.Interface/ILogEntry.cs
			...
	Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
	error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by merge:
			Lib/MSBuildExtensionPack/4.0.6.0/Ionic.Zip.dll
			Lib/MSBuildExtensionPack/4.0.6.0/MSBuild.ExtensionPack.dll
			...
	Aborting

So now I&#39;m trying to discard the local changes but I&#39;m getting:

	C:\Users\Tom\SourceLog [master +4 ~26 -0 !]&gt; git checkout -- .
	Rename from &#39;.git/index.lock&#39; to &#39;.git/index&#39; failed. Should I try again? (y/n) y
	Rename from &#39;.git/index.lock&#39; to &#39;.git/index&#39; failed. Should I try again? (y/n) n
	fatal: unable to write new index file

How can I clean this up?  (I didn&#39;t have any local changes before starting the sync.)


Update
------

Can&#39;t seem to reset head..

	C:\Users\Tom\SourceLog [master +4 ~0 -0 !]&gt; git reset head
	Rename from &#39;.git/index.lock&#39; to &#39;.git/index&#39; failed. Should I try again? (y/n) y
	Rename from &#39;.git/index.lock&#39; to &#39;.git/index&#39; failed. Should I try again? (y/n) n
	error: Could not write new index file.
	fatal: Could not reset index file to revision &#39;head&#39;.
