I'm trying to make something that will destroy all open windows. This is what I have right now.

Code:

loop,30
{
WinKill,,,1,,
}
ExitApp


Once it is finished I will burn it to a CD and act as a task manager incase I accidentaly screw myself over with a script.

you will cause more damage with this script than you can cause with another script.

Simply build a safety into all your other scripts (I use
Code:
~!esc::ExitApp
) Just hit Shift Escape to kill the scripts. that are watching for it. once a script is safe and tested, remoev this hotkey.

You may use the following script which shall gracefully end all running AHK scripts ( including those compiled ) :

Code:
DetectHiddenWindows, On
WinGet, List, List, ahk_class AutoHotkey
Loop %List%
  {
    WinGet, PID, PID, % "ahk_id " List%A_Index%
    If ( PID <> DllCall("GetCurrentProcessId") )
         PostMessage,0x111,65405,0,, % "ahk_id " List%A_Index%
  }

could his script be used to kill all open windows without killing processes?

if, for example, i write a multi-part script, could i use his command as a failsafe between parts if the actual script doesn't close the window due to lag?
