Why does this work at a command prompt:
| Code: | | >autohotkey.exe MyScript.ahk |
Usually I can't run programs unless their directory is in the PATH environment, otherwise the computer doesn't know where the program is. Autohotkey is not in the PATH, so how does the computer know where it is? |

| If i try to call autohotkey.exe on my command line, it does say me that the program is not found, unless I am in same directory. So why do you think your computer knows about autohotkeys path? If it is not in PATH variable ... so you cannot execute it. |

It could be in registry.. Check the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths |

Yup there it is: | Code: | [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\AutoHotkey.exe]
@="C:\\Program Files\\AutoHotkey\\AutoHotkey.exe"
|
The instructions say to call an autohotkey script use: | Code: | | AutoHotkey.exe [Switches] [Script Filename] [Script Parameters] |
