Re: AutoHotkey no longer running at startup
Thank you both! The problem with it not working in some programs was indeed the Administrator privileges issue.

AutoHotkey no longer running at startup
Please can anyone help? I've happily used AutoHotkey for years, but ever since I ran a system cleanup utility, AutoHokey no longer runs at startup, even after I've uninstalled and reinstalled it. I can manually launch MyHotkeys.ahk, but even when I do that, it no longer works in all programs, only s...

Re: Script to create and open a new text file? Topic is solved
I am extremely grateful to you both for your help and would not want to waste your time. However, I'm afraid this is all too confusing for my simple brain! I just use AHK for very basic key assignments. I'm not a programmer, can't dig into code, combine scripts, and have have no idea what stuff like...

Re: Script to create and open a new text file? Topic is solved
Thank you. Unfortunately, this is a little glitchy in several respects, so I think your original script is the best one.

Re: Script to create and open a new text file? Topic is solved
I am extremely grateful for your help. Would it be possible to just give just the code for creating the text file, and making sure it's selected (so I can hit enter to open it)?

I'm really sorry, I don't know how to remove that part. I don't know where it starts and ends! (Sorry.)

Re: Script to create and open a new text file? Topic is solved
Thank you, Mikie for the quick reply. That's great, and very handy, and I'm going to keep this useful script. But is it possible to change it so there are no dialog boxes, and it just does a standard Windows rename (F2)? I just want things as minimal as possible, and that way, if I don't want to ope...

Re: Script to create and open a new text file? Topic is solved
The solution given above worked perfectly (thank you again). But now I would like a modified version of it, if anyone could help? Instead of the text file being opened, I'd just like it to be created and then renamed, so I can run the script then start typing what I want the document to be called. C...

Re: Create new folder in Exploerer? Topic is solved
I've just noticed something strange… Now that I've added your code to my script, none of my other keys work!
For example, this shortcut no longer works at all:
Code: Select all

Create new folder in Explorer? Topic is solved
I've been struggling with this for a while… In Explorer, I want to be able to delete files by pressing Ctrl+D, and create a new folder by pressing Ctrl+G. The Script I made works fine for delete, but not for making a new folder: ; *** Delete *** #IfWinActive, Explorer ^d:: Send, {delete} Return ; **...

Re: Script to create and open a new text file? Topic is solved
Jeeswg,
IT WORKED! Thank you so much!
I never thought the Script would need to be so big, I was thinking it would just be a simple line of code. So I really appreciate the trouble you've taken to write this!

Re: Script to create and open a new text file? Topic is solved
jeeswg, thanks so much, that first script is fantastic!
The only slight problem is I want it to create the text file in the current Explorer window I'm in, rather than a fixed location. Is this possible?

Script to create and open a new text file? Topic is solved
I'd like to be able to hit a key in Windows Explorer and have it create a new Notepad2 text file (C:\Program Files\Notepad2\Notepad2.exe) then open that file so I can start typing.
Can anyone help?
