for AutoHotkey v2
This is my startup script that I put a shortcut to run in my startup folder to load my standard scripts on computer bootup.
It basically Runs a list of scripts.
This list can include a folder which will run all files in that folder and subfolders. Wildcards * and ? can also be used.
Relative path can also be used by using .\ at the beginning of a file path. One dot is the folder this script is located in. Each additional dot steps back one folder.
It also looks for a txt file with the same name as the script and includes the files listed there.
It then creates a tooltip that list all the scripts that it started.
It then removes the tray icon of all the scripts it started leaving only the "AHK Startup" tray icon.
When AHK Startup is exited or stopped all the scripts it started will also be exited and stopped.
All the lines between:
(Join,
)]
Are example paths only to show different syntax and formatting of how paths can be done. These lines MUST BE EDITED to the path and scripts that the user wants AHK Startup to run.
In the list of scripts, the flag "/noload" can be used after a script name to not run the script but include it in the "Load" submenu. When a running script is exited through the menu then it is also moved to the "Load" submenu which means scripts can be loaded and unloaded through the menu by using "Load" and "Exit". I use "/noload" on scripts that I want easy access to but do not actually want to have running all the time. A script is only moved to the "Load" submenu if exited through the menu. If a script is closed directly or closes itself, then it is not added to the "Load" submenu.
Although this script is written in AutoHotkey v2, it can start both v1 and v2 scripts. The version needs to be specified in the list of scripts with the flags /v1 or /v2. If no version flag is present then /v2 is assumed. Alternatively, different extensions can be used for v1 and v2 scripts which then will be used to differentiate version (this is the approach I personal use with .ahk and .ah2 but is not the default for AutoHotkey).
May also need to adjust the paths for RunPathV1 and RunPathV2 if AutoHotkey is not installed to the default locations.
Everything that needs to be adjust should be in the INITIALIZATION - VARIABLES section.
I use this script for startup but AHK Startup does not really even have to be done at bootup, that is just how I use it. You could make three copies of AHK Startup and rename them "Work Scripts", "Web Scripts", and "Game Scripts". Then define within each of those which scripts it starts. Then run them as you need them, one or all three and have three tray icons that each start and stop related scripts together. AHK Startup is really about just consolidating multiply scripts to start and stop together like suites of scripts that you want to run together.

If ExtV2 is set to ah2 then it works. The problem occurs If the extension is the same (ahk) for both v1 & v2.
