I set AHK to run @ Startup.

If i comment out part of the original AutoHotkey.ahk script that runs @ Startup, like so:


;#z::Run www.autohotkey.com

or

; #z::Run www.autohotkey.com ( does a space matter ?)

then AHK does not start,
as evidenced by the fact that it's not listed as a running process in Sysinternals Process Explorer -
but it is listed if I don't comment it out.

I did replace " www.autohotkey.com " w/ C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE ,
which believe it or not, Win+Z is my own previous hotkey to fire up IE7,
and that works ok.

For my education in AHK & scripting, I need/want to know WHY ???

WHY when things work, and even more importantly, WHY when they don't ?

Thanks to whoever can help enlighten me

************************

Hold on ! before posting, whilst reviewing this just now, an idea struck -

it doesn't load @ startup because there is no longer any script to load & run,
because i commented it out !! ??

is this true ?
i hope i'm developing some reasoning abilities here

it runs but then it goes away.

If you don't have any hotkeys you have to use "persistant" or some damn key word I don't remember cause I've never needed...

Thanks, folks ! It works !

I erased both commands from AutoHotkey.ahk script,
added the #persistent,
and it starts up - it's in the system tray, ready to edit.

Love it when the understanding comes.

Now I need to know what I'm not doing correctly with the

, max parameter?
