Hello,

Excited about this program IF it will do what I think it means it will do?

i.e. Record my requirements at Start Up and execute them for me automatically?

I hope that is what it means?

I have a large number of programs and directories and folders etc. that I have had to repeatedly do myself every time I boot up.

Am I correct that it will do that all for me once I have recorded what I do first?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I haven't even loaded the program yet but will do so ASAP.

Thanks

If by 'requirements' you mean things like opening programs, logging in to the company VPN, downloading new emails, or displaying today's schedule, then yes, AHK can do that.

That being said, what AHK can't deliver are pre-made custom solutions at the whim of a hat. Don't bother with AHK unless you are prepared to put forth some effort towards learning the basics and trial & error.

However, AHK has one of the gentlest learning curves of any scripting/programming language I have learned. In fact, the only thing you need to learn to start using AHK is how to execute a script. The forums are full of scripts, such as macro recorders (which record, save, and play back the user's mouse clicks and keystrokes), that you can begin using right away.
