the "force shutdown". In other words "shutdown.exe -f". I found this page with

For anyone else coming down this path, here's how to shutdown, reboot or logoff
Windows, each with the option to force the action. In other words, you can
force Windows to reboot even if its asking if you want to save a document.

If you can read the registry, you can save it without any other special
permissions. It is just text.
Just export a branch of your own registry and open it with notepad to see the
format. I do it all the time, it works fine.

Regedit and "reg export" create UTF16 files, but regedit and "reg
import" are perfectly happy to read 8-bit .reg files.

Well, you are simplifying thin
Well, sure the registry itself is not text, but the keynames contained within
it are, and so are the values, once you've read them. Basically what I'm
saying is not that you need *no* permissions, just that you don't need any

Well, like I said, I've never done it in Python, and this is going back a bit,
so some things might be different, but I'm not talking about RegSaveKey or
RegRestoreKey, I'm talking about using EnumKey and CreateKey. As far as I can
remember, I didn't have any special permissions for that.

I think my mistake was assuming that reading the values was going to be
sufficient. For all the purposes I've used, it was. For my edification,
what's the functional difference? I mean, what I was doing was able to walk

on buttons, etc., but I knew their hwnds. How do I construct the lParam.

Thanks Tim. I used the following to select my tab of interest:
TCM_SETCURSEL = 0x130C
win32gui.SendMessage(hwnd, TCM_SETCURSEL, 3, 0)
However, according to MSDN:

"Remarks
A tab control does not send a TCN_SELCHANGING or TCN_SELCHAN
Apparently I jumped the gun.
I tried:
lParam = (y << 16) | x
win32gui.SendMessage(top_hwnd, win32con.WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 0, lParam)
win32gui.SendMessage(top_hwnd, win32con.WM_LBUTTONUP, 0, lParam)
with x and y 1st being on-screen coordinates, and 2nd with x and y being
