| Also consider Resource Hacker http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/. In many (not all) cases you can edit the dialogs, strings, icons, bitmaps, and so on in an exe file to more closely suit your taste. |

| Actually, although I like MSE very much and do use it on all my computers, it has two quirks that are irksome. First, as I said in the original post, it is just not fast on AHK compiled scripts, likely because it is interpreting them to see what they do. I can live with this. Second, in any kind of ... |

| This topic is prompted by http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic77907.html . On My Windows XP Pro SP3 with Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), MSE scans executables before running them. Compiled AHK scripts take a long long while to scan. I have disabled upx.exe, so these are vanilla AHK compiles, n... |

| Perhaps the best solution is to download and install AutoHotKey_L, which supports #If expressions (see http://www.autohotkey.net/~Lexikos/AutoHotkey_L/docs/commands/_If.htm and especially the first example shown there), but I would rather do this in vanilla AutoHotKey inorder to avoid having to inst... |

| I'd check to make sure you can open the file with another program (e.g. Notepad). I had a file recently that existed but nonetheless "could not be opened" and it turned out to be a zero-length file because I'd erred during a copy. |

| I far prefer the current documentation to the sample you show. The sample is skinny. There is a lot of wasted space; only one half or less of my browser window width gets actual info, and the first third of the window is either white space or generic overhead (logos, huge menu text) and is garish an... |

| This works for me in vanilla AHK: Code: :*:12:: NumpadEnd & NumpadDown::Send
I think that the "#If GetKeyState("NumLock", "T") = 0" statement requires AHK_L. |

| FWIW, I like Regmagik http://www.regmagik.com/ a lot. It is a very fast searcher; I've never felt the need for an index using it. Has lots of other usability niceties, as well. |

| First move out CoInitialize/CoUninitialize of the functions and call them only once at the start-up/exit stage of the resident script. For a few months I've used your script successfully. It is modified to accept as an argument the name of the folder for menu popping (obviously). It is compiled, an... |

| In the section "Notes for Autoit2 Users" appears For convenience, the first comma can be omitted for any command (except when the first parameter is blank). For example: Sleep 1, MsgBox test, etc. This has gotten me into trouble, most recently with OutputDebug == A == OutputDebug, == B == ... |
