I asked for help on the forum a while back on making a script that would hide all windows and lock the computer. I tweaked it to make two versions:
One that would just hide all windows
and another that would hide all windows and hide the taskbar, desktop etc

I can't seem to figure out how to make the script delete the file that keeps the list of windows that were hidden when the script exits.
It will do it when I press a key combination though. So the problem is that the file gets huge and takes forever to unhide windows.

Is there a way to make the script delete the file when I right click the icon and select exit?

Code:

#Persistent

SetTimer, Hide_Windows, 900000  ; Run this every 15 minutes
Return

OnExit, OnnExit
return


Hide_Windows:   ; The following code will run with the timer (every 15 minutes)
#z::            ; Or when you press Windows_key + z
WinGet, id, List,,,Program Manager  ; makes an array of every visible window on the system
Titles_List =    ; set this to empty to avoid duplication
Loop %id%   ; loop as many times as there are windows
{
   this_id := id%A_Index%   ; Title now equals the Unique ID of a specific window each time the loop runs
   Titles_List = %Titles_List%%this_id%`,   ; form the unique window IDs into a comma separated list
   WinGetTitle, This_title, ahk_id %this_id%
   WinHide, %this_title%   ; hide each window after it ID is listed
}
FileAppend, %Titles_List%, C:\Hidden_Windows.txt
Return




#p::
SetTimer, Hide_Windows, 5000  ; Press Windows_key + x to run the same code every five seconds
Return


OnnExit:
#c::
SetTimer, Hide_Windows, Off   ; Press Windows_key + c (or exit the program) to stop running the Hide code
FileRead, Titles_List, C:\Hidden_Windows.txt   ; Get the saved list of hidden Window ID's
Loop, Parse, Titles_List, `,   ; act on each in turn
{
   WinShow, ahk_id%A_Space%%A_LoopField%
}
FileDelete, C:\Hidden_Windows.txt
ExitApp
Return
Return



#x::
FileRead, Titles_List, C:\Hidden_Windows.txt   ; Get the saved list of hidden Window ID's
Loop, Parse, Titles_List, `,   ; act on each in turn
{
   WinShow, ahk_id%A_Space%%A_LoopField%
}
Return



Thanks

remove the return like this:


Code:
#Persistent

SetTimer, Hide_Windows, 900000  ; Run this every 15 minutes


OnExit, OnnExit
return

The "OnExit" instruction is never being executed because program flow ends before that instruction is encountered.

Remove the "return " instruction after "settimer" so that the "OnExit" instruction is part of the autoexecute section of the script.
Right now it is an 'orphan' with it _never_ being called.

Code:
#Persistent

SetTimer, Hide_Windows, 900000  ; Run this every 15 minutes
Return ;<----------------------- remove this line

OnExit, OnnExit
return
