SKAN, I owe you a beer, it works great! I love it when I can make a script smarter and clean up after itself  |

| SKAN, I bow to the king! I have very limited coding knowledge, especially when it comes to DllCalls. I'll give your suggestion a test when I get a chance and post back. Thanks a ton! Is it possible to find out what the path of such shortcut launching a script is? I am surprised.. The answer is yes! ... |

| That's exactly what I need...the full path of the shortcut that ran the script. FileGetShortcut won't work because you need to know the shortcut location, which is what I'm trying to find in the first place :) The things I want to check in the shortcut are the path to the working directory and a fil... |

| Ok, I answered my second question. See the updated script (used Gui +Resize +MinSize300x300 instead). The problem with the "Help Me!" button not displaying correctly until you hover over it still remains. ; Allow the user to maximize or drag-resize the window: Gui +Resize ; Create some but... |

| Hi all, See below for the code in question. This is a crude example (proof of concept) adapted from the AHK GUI help. I have a button called "Help me!" and for some reason, it doesn't show up correctly when the script is launched. If I hover over it with the cursor then it starts showing, ... |

| Thanks a lot SKAN! It took a while for me to get back but it seems like I have a workable solution now. This Thread also helped a ton (really, the solution was delivered on a platter!). Thanks for all your help. I'm a total rookie when it comes to scripting, especially with using dllcall and doing r... |

| Thanks a TON guys. That working example is perfect. I'm not that knowledgeable in using dllcall (or most of AHK anyway!). I appreciate all the help. Too bad I wasn't smart enough to figure out the syntax until the last 2 posts |

| I see. I read the following and thought it needed to be RegOpenKeyEx . As you pointed out, it returned -4. I corrected it to RegOpenKeyExA and it now returns 0, which means ERROR_SUCCESS, correct? Now if that is working, I'm still having trouble with RegQueryValueEx that reads the value. Errorlevel ... |

| I'm trying to use dllcall with Advapi32.dll to read the registry instead of RegRead, but I'm not being successful. I'm messing up the syntax. Below is my test code. I added a value "InstallLocation" under "SYSTEM" just to experiment retrieving its value using this method but I ge... |

I'm not familiar with how to use the dllcall with Advapi32.dll. I would appreciate any help with syntax as I'm sure I'm doing it wrong. Below is a test I... |

Thanks David. I might use your approach.
Lexicos, do you know if it's possible to use the KEY_WOW64_64KEY flag with RegRead? I cannot find an example of how to use that flag. Thanks! |
