If I have already compiled my AHK script and sent it to a user, how big is the possibility that the user can open ("de-compile") my script and peek into it? Does compiling a script means encrypting it at all (so that others can't see the script)?

"Compiling" and "Encrypting" are two different words for a reason. Smile

Compiling just creates a PE (portable executable) that can be ran on machines that don't have AHK installed.

Encrypting is a whole 'nuther ballgame.

Thank you, but what about the visibility of the script after it has been compiled?
Can anyone easily know the script of an AHK portable executable file?
