Is there a way to figure out which script an autohotkey process is associated with? Sometimes, I have to end a script that doesn't have a tray icon. With several scripts running without tray icons, I have a hard time ending the right one using Task Manager.

You can set a hotkey to list the window names and PIDs of all running ahk scripts,using the winget,outvar,list,... command and parsing the result,and show them in a msgbox.

Before I try and figure out how to do this - the window name for each AHK script is its filename, right? Even if it has no window/tray icon?

If anyone else cares, a simpler way is to view each Autohotkey's process properties in Process Explorer. The Command Line field shows which script file is associated with each instance of Autohotkey. A bit cumbersome, but very simple.
