Nice work. Haven't tried it out yet, but it looks good. Are you working on a function to set the flags? I found that sometimes setting the registry key will change the settings but they don't take effect unless I manually interact with the compatibility tab.

great !

Just to make it cleaner, you could replace your For loop by a While in both functions :

Func _IsProgramInCompabilityMode($sFileFullPath)
    Local $sRegKey = 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers'
    Local $sValue
    Local $i = 0
    While 1
        $i += 1
        $sValueName = RegEnumVal($sRegKey, $i)
        If @error <> 0 Then ExitLoop
        If $sFileFullPath = $sValueName Then
            If StringRegExp(RegRead($sRegKey, $sValueName), $__sACF_REGEXP_Compability) Then
                Return True
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
    Return False
EndFunc   ;==>_IsProgramInCompabilityMode

Func _IsProgramRunWithSetting($sFileFullPath, $sSetting)
    Local $sRegKey = 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers'
    Local $sValue
    Local $i = 0
    While 1
        $i += 1
        $sValueName = RegEnumVal($sRegKey, $i)
        If @error <> 0 Then ExitLoop
        If $sFileFullPath = $sValueName Then
            If StringInStr(RegRead($sRegKey, $sValueName), $sSetting) Then
                Return True
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
    Return False
EndFunc   ;==>_IsProgramRunWithSetting

a mistake ...  not related content...

I try different scenario and I still had a problem.

 

here is info about: Declaring DPI Awareness: 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd464660%28VS.85%29.aspx

and here is exactly what I need to use (I think so):

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd464660%28VS.85%29.aspx#declaring_dpi_awareness

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms701681(VS.85).aspx

so I have question:

How to use this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms633543(v=vs.85).aspx

in AutoIt ?
