It currently seems difficult to manage AHK files in Windows when dealing with both versions. Since AHK1 and AHK2 both use the same extension on their script files, there's no way to associate the AHK1 scripts with AHK1. To make it worse, when you use the "open with" command, both AHK versions have identical application names. The only way to be sure is to use the browse feature to locate the correct exe in the correct folder.
The best solution would be to change the extension for AHK 2. You could support both extensions in the newer versions. But it would also help to change the application title to include a 2 somewhere
It may be possible for script writers to just come up with their own random extension and associate that with AHK2, but this would be a pain if they plan to release their scripts to the public.
