how do I find and disable an ahk file that has #NoTrayIcon parameter?

Ambiguous! Did you mean:
How to detect and exit a running AHK script that has no tray icon ?

yeap

Not an easy task, I guess.
You have to get a list of PID's for all running AHK scripts and use TrayIcons() to ascertain whether it has a Tray icon

CTRL+ALT+DEL opens the windows task manager..... under Processes locate AutoHotkey.exe and select End Process

but in case of multiple ahk files running there is no way to determine which is which

So you have to kill them until the annoying one is ended, and restart the others...

Not sure if this is what you were looking for but it's in the FAQ.

um addition to this my ctrl+alt+del is actually shut off each time I try to open it due to a line my brother added so i can't shut if off that way does anyone know how to get around that?

also note that each one is hidden.

you can write an ahk script to search out other ahk scripts and process, Close them. just be sure to compile it, since otherwise, it will close itself

otherwise, use the pskill command (you have to download the pstools package)


I seem to remember a brother vs. brother prank script discussion a while back, I wonder if you are the target brother.

sadly i am... also i sorta am new at this auto hot key thing... so i don't know how to find it.

tested:


This will close al UNCOMPILED ahk scripts, including itself. If it is a compiled AHK script, you will need to know the name of it...

If its a .exe then its compiled.
