[a138] Menu in this version

Do all items in the menu work for you?
In my case Help and WindowsSpy do not, no reaction. The other points are ok.
Same when I use open - file. There works help - Web site, manual not.

the help should open up by default regardless, since an AutoHotkey.chm file is in the root dir of both v2 interpreters when u first extract the .zip
if uve moved or renamed that file it might not work. if uve installed v1 and/or have the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoHotkey(which u automatically would if uve installed v1), it will try to open the AutoHotkey.chm located in the path indicated by InstallDir

the same goes for WindowSpy.ahk, except v2 doesnt unpack with one by default, so if u havent installed v1, or manually placed a WindowSpy.ahk in one of the possible places mentioned, nothing will open

Phew, I'm getting too old for this doodads.
I had uninstalled V1 months ago and now wanted to use the spy again for the first time.
Thank you very much, I will think longer next time.
