Here's what I got so far for the uninstallation page
https://autohotkey.com/uninstall
I need XP screenshots, or maybe not?

Re: Google is blocking autohotkey.com
I think that should be "all AutoHotkey scripts and processes", though "and process(es)" seems redundant.On your computer, close all AutoHotkey scripts and process.
Setup automatically closes running scripts (including Ahk2Exe) and the help file, but I suppose including that as the first step is a reasonable precaution. (It should be obvious that one must stop using the program in order to uninstall it, but it might not be obvious to everyone that the program is still running.) If the scripts are closed first, there's less reason to mention the (self-explanatory) "Setup needs to close the following script(s)" message box.
This should work on all versions of Windows: Win+R, appwiz.cpl, Enter.
On Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10, you can generally press Start or the Windows key and type:
- appwiz.cpl, Enter; or
- AutoHotkey Setup, Enter (more direct).
I see a couple of minor problems:Click the Start menu and then Settings.
- You click the Start button to open the menu; the menu is not visible until after you click.
- "Settings" isn't visible as such by default; there's just an icon of a gear, unless you click the hamburger button first.
Or is it the Start button Start button?Windows 7 & Vista: Click the Start menu Start menu and then Control Panel.
Control Panel can be missing from the Start menu, but I suppose that's rare. There's an option between XP and 7 to give the Start menu the classic (2k) layout, where Control Panel is accessed via a Settings sub-menu. When the option is enabled, Start search doesn't work either.

Do you think I should mention this method instead (as in, only this), as it is much more consistent throughout the different versions of windows?
Good catch! I copied this from the Chrome uninstall page, I must have gotten the alt param from the <img> s. My badlexikos wrote:Or is it the Start button Start button?Windows 7 & Vista: Click the Start menu Start menu and then Control Panel.
Thanks for reviewing btw!

Re: Google is blocking autohotkey.com
If I were writing an article teaching how to uninstall a program, I would include both methods. For our purposes though, it's fine as it is.joedf wrote:That's exactly how I would do, but some people are just really clueless about computer stuff, I'm sure you've witnessed your fair share...
To be clear, I wrote "(es)" because both "process" and "processes" are redundant. I would not suggest writing it that way. I think "all" implies plural, so it's either "the script(s) and process(es)" or "all scripts and processes".process(es)
Re: Google is blocking autohotkey.com
If I read correctly, you still need screenshots for Windows XP. For this case, see my attachments.
There is a typo in the headline: "Unistalling AutoHotkey" should be "Uninstalling AutoHotkey"

Re: Google is blocking autohotkey.com
Add the link wherever you want and I'll copy it.
I would suggest that you change the theme of the new page to match one of the pages we already have, and remove the script-based top bar (or at least the non-functional theme menu).

Sure. No problem, I will work on this on the weekend.

WHOOPS! Good catch!
Must have been a conversion mistake in the markdown :b
I’ll fix this later tonight.

Anyway we’ll see.
