you've been told multiple times that you aren't using the correct compiler

the default compiling script is called "Ahk2exe" and this ships with the default AHK installation.

you are using a third party user-created script called "Compile_AHK". who knows what that does

just me

If you look at your attachment you'll notice:
  • Both the AHK script and the exe are stored/shall be stored in C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\AHK_Scripts, which might be write protected on Win 10.
  • The script seems to use a bin file from C:\Users\GERRIT~1\AppData\Local\Temp\AutoHotkey\Compiler.
  • The script modifies (and maybe corrupts) the bin file trying to add/replace icons with ResHacker.
Did you try to put a copy of your script into a folder with full access and to use Compile option from the context menu?
Are you sure the exe is not running while you try to compile the script?

Now i really apologize for driving you guys crazy.
I always knew i was ugly, but now i found out i am stupid too :shock:

I saw that ahk.exe script every time, yet i was looking for the program with the green "H" and never could find it. :crazy:

I sent it to the desktop as a shortcut and yep, you guess the rest. IT WORKS !! :bravo:

Thank you once again for not giving up on one stupid oke. I really appreciate what you did for me.

Now i have hours and hours of real fun ahead of me trying to automate this laptop as i did with my desktop. :dance:

THANKS A MILLION :D :D :D :D :D :D
