JoeWinograd . This script demos what I was trying to do. Windows doesn't quite work how I thought it might. I thought you could get AutoHotkey to run Explorer to open a process/file, giving you a chain of descendants: AutoHotkey\Explorer\MyExe. Instead, you get Explorer\MyExe. And to make things mo...

Maybe using child/parent processes could help. You create process A, which creates process B. You get the PID for process A by using Run or RunWait. You get the PID for process B by checking for any processes that have parent process A. You wait until process B is closed, by using Process Exist or W...

Maybe you could use explorer.exe, like in this post, but with RunWait:

Just FYI, the certificate issue may be a red herring. The certificate may be fine. IIRC, one time when I was fixing redirect rules in my website's .htaccess file, RewriteCond/RewriteRule etc, I did it incorrectly. When I typed URLs into the address bar, it went into an infinite loop, constantly redi...

The problem may be due to incorrect redirect rules in the .htaccess file.

@JoeWinograd: Adding 'www.' to your URLs worked for me as a quick fix.

The problem is affecting more than just the archived forum. URLs with and without 'www.' are failing for the archived forum: · https://autohotkey.com/board/ · https://www.autohotkey.com/board/ URLs with 'www.' are working, but without 'www.' are failing, for other cases: · https://autohotkey.com/boa...

I'm happy it worked!

Btw the explorer.exe code was to open the link files, not to open Explorer windows.
It might be worth a try.

Are there any special link files on a default Windows 10 install? So I could try. Thanks.

The idea is that the 64-bit shell would open the file in a 64-bit way, rather than the 32-bit AutoHotkey open the file in a 32-bit way. You could also try these 2 scripts (replacing Notepad with your file): Run, "explorer.exe" "C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe" if A_Is64bitOS && (A_PtrSize!=8) DllCal...

You could try the ShellRun function by Lexikos.

Based on what gregster said, you could try this:

I mentioned in a previous post, the AHK backport lib, there's also a GUI backport lib that may give you clues for shaping AHK v1 GUI commands into AHK v2 functions.

IIRC, FileMove can have odd side effects if you use it on a folder. Something like renaming the first file and bailing out. So you may want to do something like this:

The forum has multiple servers with different settings. Could it be that?

Thank you both, I found the error in the Chrome.ahk file itself, not in an included file. Although the code was probably based on the library by Coco that you mentioned. Newer2AHK : I got the error by passing JS code to the Evaluate method. The JS did a comparison with ==, and returned a true/false ...

GeekDude: I believe there is a minor bug in the file Chrome.ahk: ; before: val := %value% + 0 ; after: val := %val% + 0 Btw this thread is getting pretty big, is it going to have its own subforum, like the documentation thread ? I want to make a few more unconnected points, but it might be neater t...

@mfeemster:
If IronAHK has SysGet, that would have the Monitor functionality.
jeeswg's backport lib may give you other clues for where AHK v1 commands can be shaped into AHK v2 functions.
Thanks for working on this!
