BTW I've already saw this thread:

..and my HKCR\AutohotkeyScript\Shell\Edit\Command is already set to UltraEdit. This works fine for right-clicking an AHK file and choosing "Edit", but not for right-clicking the AHK tray icon and choosing "Edit This Script" for Autohotkey.ini. This always opens with Notepad!

I've even set the default "Open" file association for .INI files to UltraEdit-32 in Explorer, but the tray icon Edit still opens with Notepad!

I'd prefer if AutoHotkey simply did something equivalent of a but it seems to be doing a

I do not know why the AHK.ini causes Notepad to start.


But for the second part, try to use*not tested*

Thanks Toralf, but I was merely trying to "pseudocode" of what AHK the program is doing internally; not quoting exact code that I can change.

The other option I thought of was doing Menu, Tray commands to replace "Edit this Script" with my own alternate one that fired up UltraEdit instead of Notepad on Autohotkey.ini, but I'd rather have this fixed in the program itself...

The "Edit This Script" menu item internally does the equivalent of:
Run edit "%A_ScriptFullPath%"

In other words, it uses the file's associated "edit" verb, which shows up in the registry as an entry just like "open" except that it has the word "edit" in place of "open".

In the next update, this will be changed to try the "open" verb on .ini files if the "edit" verb fails. If at that time you have any more problems with it, please let me know.

Thanks for reporting it.

Excellent info! I should have realized the Edit verb was called, given the Autohotkeyscript Edit registry change (referenced in my initial post above) was necessary for standalone .AHK scripts.


Will do...thanks as always for being so responsive Chris!
