Re: Open multiple instances of File Explorer
Hey, this will get the job done for sure. Would this work on more than 2 windows? My understanding is runwait holds the program, allows run to execute, then releases the runwait command so it does not detect the file explorer window as being open? I'm an AutoHotkey n00b, so maybe somebody more know...

Re: Copy text from one Microsoft Word doc & paste it into another MS Word doc Topic is solved
Besides assuming that only two docs were open, the VBA in my original post also assumed that the source doc was Windows(1). So I've tweaked it (revised that post) to allow for the possibility that the source doc is 2 and the target doc is 1. (And I also removed the extraneous definition of docTarget...

Re: Copy text from one Microsoft Word doc & paste it into another MS Word doc Topic is solved
Rather than use AutoHotkey for this, it would probably make more sense to use a Word macro and assign the macro to a key combination in Word. If you're unfamiliar with Word key-assignments, you can get to them by right-clicking on the ribbon and choosing "Customize," and then clicking on the keyboar...

Re: Parameters and jump list
I think you can use something like Jumplist Extender, this JumpList library , or (more advanced) build something based on the Windows SDK sample . I haven't tested any of these. Thanks for the links. I'm an AutoHotkey n00b, and have been doing some further messing around over the past several days,...

Multiple ahk-based jump lists; text files as parameter vehicles
I've just switched from Win7 to Win10, and was looking for a way to both open an Explorer window to a particular folder and position the window in terms of left/top/width/height. Windows veterans may know that that was a built-in feature of WinXP (individual folders remembered their last screen posi...

Parameters and jump list
I have AutoHotkey pinned to my Win10 taskbar, and I have a shortcut on my desktop that successfully runs an AutoHotkey script with five parameters. But when I drag the shortcut to the AutoHotkey taskbar icon and pin it to the jump list, the jump list entry shows up, but the parameters get stripped o...
