Interesting and nice.

Small bug found, (I am NOT complaining, great work, far more than I can even understand)

When I first started this program, CPULOCK, I was even more of a nooob, than I am now, I made a program that was LONG...
"Click this if you're having trouble installing a program or hardware.exe"

I would change it but it is so deep into my programs, it would take a day!

No one else will be as dumb as me and make such a long name, but, if I use your program to compile, it errors out.
Not worth fixing, I am sure I am the only one.

Great Job, im using it all the time, but can you do one thing, option the icons to be COPIED to the ahk folder with a checkbox option, when i zip up my code in backups, i like to include icons, and if the icons are copied when compiled with your compiler i dont have to hunt through my icon store for them to be added to my backup. (or if the ini is deleted by accident)

[DeWild1]

Do you have Vista or XP?
Right click on the Auto Hotkey, (AHK), folder, select properties,


Turning off User Account Control, (UAC), may be enough, also make sure you are not logged in as a Guest, (limited User), account.
Sorry, sometimes I forget to speak English.

the file in the zip package installed, but comes up with the 0 parameter error when compile is clicked on, there is no context message to select when right clicking on an ahk file.

I have Vista Ultimate 64-bit, and am experiencing an issue with this. It doesn't seem to compile in the functions from my user lib directory which I use. They work in the uncompiled version, and if I compile with the AHK compiler, but I get errors when trying to use any lib function from an exe compiled with this script (because function doesn't exist). Any ideas?
