| I'm trying to find a way to refresh all currently open Explorer (folder) windows. I searched the forum and found this: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32297 (which is the same technique that I was already using). However, this technique does not work if there is more than one Explore... |

| Do you have other scripts running at the same time? Which OS and version? I have combined various individual script elements into a single script so that I only have one running (I didn't want a whole bunch of separate autohotkey executables running in my Task Manager processes list). I'm using Win... |

| OK, I've just disabled my auto-startup script so that nothing at all is running. I then ran only the script to toggle hidden files (exactly as it is shown above in post number 5 of this thread) and it still takes over all programs (rather than only affecting the windows specified in the script). So ... |

| Your group script works for me ... Hmm ... interesting. You've got me thinking that maybe I should be exploring a different approach. I currently have a bunch of scripts included in a single .ahk file that I auto run at Windows start up. I've checked that there are no obvious clashes or overlapping... |

| Thanks for that! I was not familiar with GroupAdd (it's a useful thing to know). However, it still does not work properly. I used this: ;Only activate this function in Explorer, Shell windows or Desktop GroupAdd, WorkIn , ahk_class ExploreWClass GroupAdd, WorkIn , ahk_class CabinetWClass GroupAdd, W... |

I have carefully followed examples in the help file (as well as on this forum) but the hotkeys always take over all... |

| Thanks to everyone for their replies! :D I guess this means that a "proper" way of directly deselecting does not exist. I like Guest's second suggestion the best because it's simple and causes the least side effects and has minimal visible flicker. However, a_h_k's 'F5' solution is so fien... |

| Which AutoHotKey command should I use to do the opposite of a "Ctrl +A" in Windows Explorer? (i.e. to de-select all files and folders so that none of them are highlighted). I searched the forum and only came up with this thread , but none of the supplied methods are of any use because they... |

Can anyone help with the question that I asked above?

I have another question relating to the above topic:
How can I prevent the script from running if focus is on a Desktop icon (as opposed to the Desktop itself)?
the command IfWinActive Program Manager ahk_class Progman does not distinguish between the Desktop and icons that are on the Desktop. |

| I think I knew where my confusion came from. I had another script running (with no icon) that was performing the same function (in a different way) in Explorer windows. This made it appear as if the Desktop and Explorer windows were being treated as one (when in fact it was actually 2 separate scrip... |

| How can I ensure that a particular action only runs when the Desktop has focus? I used Window Spy and clicked on the Desktop to get the window title and class (Program Manager & ahk_class Progman) but when I use these values e.g. IfWinActive, ahk_class Progman it applies to all Explorer windows ... |

In my example: $^i:: [color=red]#[/color]IfWinActive ahk_class ExploreWClass|CabinetWClass Send !ei return This works in Explorer and Windows shell folders, but it also works in every other window too.
