Why do I lose focus on the browser tab when I run this script?

Thank you for the suggestion but not even this worked for me. I had to resort to task schedule. I really don't understand because on a clean installation of Win 10 putting a shortcut in the startup folder worked just fine, then suddenly the scripts were not starting anymore. If anybody has figured o...

I am trying to change cursor color or shape when the function ClickLock, in Windows 10, is activated, which in theory should keep the mouse button status down, so I can detect it with ATH. I have tried to look into the old forum documentation and threads but I don't understand the code. What I have ...

I am trying to disable a hot key only when it's triggered in specific windows. GroupAdd f2group, ahk_class ATL:ExplorerFrame ;xplorer2_64.exe GroupAdd f2group, ahk_class XLMAIN ;excel.exe #IfWinNotActive ahk_group f2group F2::Send, #2 #IfWinActive ;return Why is this code not working? I have tried b...

I finally solved this by including the full path to the .exe. Apparently before he was working because he was in the same folder of the script.

I thought about that but maybe there was a proper way to do it. Anyway that works. thanks

In one of my scripts I have a call to nircmd.exe which I used to control my screen brightness. The only way to make it work is to use AHK in Unicode 64 mode. So I reinstalled it in U64 and the script works. The problem is that when I restart Windows the script does not work again, so I have to manua...

okay I got past that error, I was having a problem with the Run command because I had to change to U64.

now I have another issue, I get an error at the Run, %browser% %Address% line. "The system cannot find the file specified"

Thank you but I am not having any luck! I changed to the full path and also checked the windows registry exists and it's exact and it is FirefoxURL. I still get the same message. "failed to lunch program...." Action: <http://www.google.com/search.... q=UserChoice" RegRead, ProgId, HKEY_CURRENT_USER,...

I can't see to get this to work, I get "failed attempt to launch program or document, action <http.......> params:<> the system cannot find the file specified and a pointer to line Run,%browser% %address% and I have checked the registry entry it is correct it points to firefoxURL

thanks but no luck. How can I troubleshoot this? It's so puzzling.

Thanks, but it doesn't work.
AppsKey::tab works fine
AppsKey::lalt work fine

but the two together don't work. I am so confused.

if I open ahk I can tell it performs the keystrokes
035: Send,{lalt down}{tab} (0.11)
036: Sleep,200 (0.20)
037: Send,{lalt up} (0.02)
038: Sleep,100 (0.11)
039: Return (0.83)

This script AppsKey:: Send {lalt down}{tab} sleep 100 Send {lalt up} return has randomly stopped working. Appskey works fine if I reassign to another key but doesn't work with this script that switches between the last two used windows in windows 8.1. I tried to upload to the latest version of ahk b...
