I had a little free time at work. So I decided to quickly code up a small application to do some work on Windows. I wanted to showcase this application on the Black of Hat blog.These days my goal is to write all new applications in Java. This will give me some good practice. However I had some strict requirements for this latest application. It needed to have a graphical user interface. It needed to interact with the Microsoft Windows Registry. Finally it needed to by done quickly.
Unfortunately I fell back to my C++ programming skills. The result was the TaskCtrl program. To tell the truth, I am not sure if Java is even able to update the Microsoft Windows registry. I have the feeling that it cannot modify the state of the file system for security reasons. Therefore I guessed that it could also not deal with the Windows registry.
Who knows? Maybe by the end of the college semester I will be able to write Java programs with graphic users interfaces. And I will be able to knock out the code quickly as well.
