Hi, i've got a new problem with my script ^^

this is my problem :
i've got a normal GUI with textfields etc.
if u click on 1 textfield a program should be startet. now the problem : everybody got another path where this program is located. Thats why i want to use FileSelectFile to locate the executable file of the program.
But i want to do this only ONCE and then the script should "save the path"

do you guys have any idea or know how to handle this not that complicated?

i also cant use Regread because this programs are not saved in the registry.

Could i store the path in a new variable?

It is also possible to store the path in a .txt file but i dont want to do this.

best regards, SkunKz

Code:
fileselectfile,file
RegWrite,REG_SZ,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,SOFTWARE\Program Name,File Selected,%file%
Regread,fileexecutable,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,SOFTWARE\Program Name,File Selected
run %fileexecutable%

If you don't want to store the value in the registry you can use an ini file instead with IniRead/IniWrite commands.
