Here is my script:

Numpad0 & Numpad1::
Run O:\
Run M:\
return

Numpad0 & Numpad2::
run cmd
send o:{Enter}
return

I want to open CMD and have it switch to my O: directory. It wont thought. When i press 0+2 I opens CMD but a message box pops up telling me that another script is trying to open.

Also whats return for? I read about it but its complex the way they define it. I'm guessing its something that allows you to use the hotkey over and over again....although I can do that without putting return in.

here is a code for Numpad1 (with the Ctrl Key pressed) to launch the CMD prompt. and then Numpad2 (with the Ctrl Key pressed) to type out the line you need... if you want to add in a CD\ to your O drive then change the This is a Test in this script:

What was wrong with my script though? Did it not type O: because the script worked so fast the cmd window couldnt come in to focus?

also, why do you have a , after send?

also also, can you explain in plain English what return does?
