When, in Uplink, you are caught hacking (it is a hacking game), your file is, in essence, erased. A way to avoid restarting is to back up the file. This simple script will save the file to your desktop every time you press ^+s. It'll beep to let you know it worked. Assumes it knows where you installed Uplink.
The code is:
InputBox, NAME, File Name, What is the file name of the file you want to back up? Include the .usr extension. if errorlevel=1, Reload ^+s:: FileCopy, %programfiles%\Uplink\Users\%NAME%, %userprofile%\Desktop\%NAME%, 1 Soundplay, *64, 1 Return
