I'd go with [VxE]'s method, and add you should check your environment is what you think it is rather than assuming the [next] action is correct.

Better yet, why not use WinWait etc. to coordinate a ...

AHK is pseudo threaded -- the core EXE only runs as one OS level thread, however it runs scripts internally via multiple "threads". Look at critical

How about:

value:=ln(input)

output:=exp(value)

Thus you could store 10 (decimal) as:
output:=exp(2.3025850929940456840179914546844)

Why not just compile the script with a password?

What encryption algoritms does your 3rd party program support?

3DES might be the best choice -- very mature (so you're not likely to get stung by any specific implementation), reasonably secure, an ...

No. You can encrypt any binary data invoking directly Crypt_AES().
Interestingly enough, someone just posted an example over in that thread of doing just [url=http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewto ...

Pretty good regardless of your choice of cyper, since the primary attach vector is human -- in other words, the real issue is your choice of a key. The key should be ...

1. How can I implement the AES encryptin in AHK? I've only found file encryptions for AES in the forum.

1. I haven't seen a native implementation of AES in AHK, which I'm a little surprised by since it's pretty simple to port. So your out of luck for an easy answer. An excellent guide for doing so can b ...

Another idea would be to base64 encode your file. Very simple (aka very low computing overhead) and would make seeking to specific location in your file quite feasible.

It won't be the biggest lock ...

Inspired by Titan's script I wrote my own version. While it's no AES-256, I think it is stronger:
Adds a salt, which is shuffled based on the password
Runs a hash on the password to further prevent ...
