Change default software-based input panel (SIP)

    Hello,


    if you have more than one SIP installed it is possibel to change the default SIP by modifiy the Registry. SipShowIM() shows/hides always the default SIP.


    The installed SIPs are listed here: HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP\installed\ (refer the CLSID under HKCR\CLSID for details).

    The default SIP is set here: HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP\DefaultIM=<CLSID_of_desired_SIP>.


    Also you can use the OS function: BOOL SipSetCurrentIM(CLSID* pClsid).

    Thank you for the information. Is it possible to access HKCU from the NDCUCFG "reg" prompt?

    As far as I know HKLM is the root path and I can't figure out how to switch to HKCU, thus I can't find the way to apply the change you suggest above.

    reg open <key> = HKLM

    reg opencu <key> = HKCU

    reg opencr <key> = HKCR

    reg path

    Another possibility is to use functions from winreg.h.
