Custom login procedure on Windows(10) - authentication

Is there a way to create a custom login screen like Hello Windows, is there an api for such a thing?

Yes you can :
Search for “regedit” in your Start menu and launch it.
In the left-side panel, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Windows > Current Version > Policies > System.
In the right-hand panel, double-click “legalnoticecaption”.
In the “Value data” box, enter a title for your notice (for example, “ATTENTION” or “IF LOST, PLEASE CONTACT). Click OK.
Double-click “legalnoticetext”.
Enter a message containing your contact info, like your name, email address or phone number. If you’re willing to provide a reward, mention that too. Click OK.

Smart card reader not dedected - PCSC Error - 0x8010002e

My system was working fine but now my any application is not detecting the smart card reader ( SCM Microsystem) attached in the system while it is displaying in device manager.
Here I tried to get the exact error with trying C++ code (winscard.h) to connect the reader,
reader_status = SCardListReadersA(hContext, NULL,(LPSTR) &szReaders, &dwReadersSz);
and here it is giving error - 0x8010002e
Is there any advice here
It seems it was happening because of wrong registry values.I thought to share my work for other one. What I tried is :-
Right-click on the key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Calais and select Permissions...
Click Add.
Click Advanced.
Click Locations.
Click on the computername and click OK.
In the window 'Select user or groups', click on Find now.
Select LOCAL SERVICE.
Click OK.
In the window 'Select user or groups', click on OK.
In the window 'Permissions for Calais', click on LOCAL SERVICE and make sure 'Full control' , 'Read' and 'special permissions' is allowed.
restart the system and it worked.

Remove test score via iTunesConnect

On WWDC session 605, it is said test data can be management via iTunesConnect. But I currently can't find how to achieve this.
It is live or am I missing something?
You should follow these steps:
Login in iTunesConnect with appropriate AppleID (the one associated with your iTunesConnect account).
Go to MyApps
Click on your app
Click on Features
Choose GameCenter (among other features) in left side menu
From dropdown menu located in right part of the screen choose "Manage scores and players"
From there, choose the leaderboard you want to manage and click on "manage" button. All scores will show up and you can choose what scores you want to remove, or which player to block.
EDIT:
Just noticed that you are trying to delete all test data before submitting an app to the Store instead of managing already submitted game.
In that case, just chose "Delete test data" from dropdown menu from the picture above. This action can take about 24 hours to happen. So be patient.
Hope this helps!

Removing old SSH Key on Windows 8 - sublime-text + sftp

I need to remove an old ssh key but I don't know the location of the directory. The sublime console says the following.
The SSH host key has changed. This could indicate a potential security breach, or that the domain you are connecting to recently moved servers.
If you are confident this is not a security breach you can delete the old host key and try again.
1. Win XP: Start > Run > regedit.exe
Win Vista/7: Start > regedit
2. Expand to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\SshHostKeys and delete the entry including #22:example.com
The Problem is that there is no solution for windows 8 :/
Thanks already for the support!
Snipped from ComboFix.org "How to Open the Registry Editor in Windows 8":
Step 1: If you are on the Windows 8 desktop, point the cursor at the lower right
corner of the screen. Click the “Search” option as soon as it pops up on the
left-side of the screen. If you are on the Metro UI Start Screen, point the
cursor at the lower left corner of the screen and click the right mouse button.
Now select the “Search” option on the context menu.
Step 2: When you perform either of the above actions, Windows 8 will load
the “Apps” screen. Type “regedit” into the search bar located on the right
side of the “Apps” screen.
Step 3: Click the “regedit” search result on the left side of the “Apps”
screen. If you see a UAC dialog box, click “Yes” to open the
Windows 8 Registry Editor.
After that point, just expand to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\SshHostKeys and delete the desired entry including the #22:domain.tld
Hope this helps.

Qtp script not clicking on security warning dialog box

I am auto generating scripts using qtp10.0
My application has a popup with message The current web page is trying to open a site in your trusted site sites list. Do you want to allow this? and I want to click yes on this popup. But my script is not doing this.
Can't we click on security warning Yes button using script in qtp 10.0?
First of all yes you should be able to click the "yes" button with QTP 10.
Kind of hard to answer specifically without more details but I will give you some pointers on where I would look to fix the problem.
1) Make sure you have the correct identification properties stored in the object repository for the browser, the dialog and the yes button by using the object spy.
2) Not the best solution but as the browser, and therefore the Yes button, is probably not the application under test it is probably satisfactory to use the hotkey for the yes button. (if one is available). To do this the code would look something like this.
'If the dialog exists
If Browser(<BrowserName>).Dialog(<DialogName>).Exist(3) Then
'Use hotkey to press the yes button
Browser(<BrowserName>).Dialog(<DialogName>).Type "Y"
'If the dialog still exists
If Browser(<BrowserName>).Dialog(<DialogName>).Exist(1) Then
'report failure
Else
'report step done or passed
EndIf
EndIf
Feel free to comment and I will attempt to help you further if you are still having problems.
