How can i execute an script by clicking an icon on the desktop instead pressing a keystroke?

I'm not quite sute I understand the question... Do you mean you have a script that you run and use a hotkey but would like to just run when you start the script? If so if you're script was something like:



then remove the hotkey to run without using a hotkey :


Does this help?

@corrupt: You don't need to explicitly define ExitApp instead of Return unless the script is Persistent. A script is made persistent if it contains hotkeys, hotstrings, gui commands, or a #Persistent directive. If it contains none of those, it will exit when it is finished executing.

Thanks for the tip jonny . I wasn't sure about that so I thought I'd put it in anyway

Thank´s a lot (Obrigado), It solved the problem.

If Jonny is a female (which I doubt, otherwise it would be an OrangeGallopingWhatNot *) than the correct spelling would be Obrigada, isn't it ?

* check the Toast it! post at the General Chat Section to get the evidence !

Um... I thought my chosen name made my gender clear. Allow me to elaborate: I am an American male student. There. It's on record.

And while I admire your seemingly endless capacity for language, you are wrong in this case. In Brazilian Portuguese at least (not sure about Portugal, but such a fundamental element should still be the same), the gender of such a word as "obrigado" depends on the speaker, not the spoken to.

Well, I'm off to find my portuguese media lesson, unfortunately I've the slight feeling that you're right

Ricardo spoken = obrigado
Enrica spoken = obrigada
