Running AHK resident on a USB device?

[etullock]

Is there a way to run AHK resident on a USB device. Here is my scenario:

I have a KVM that allows the sharing of a USB device (stick or drive) that is plugged into the back of the KVM switch. That is, when the position one is selected, whatever USB device is plugged into the back of the KVM switch, I can access that drive from computer one. But, when I switch the KVM to computer 2, I still have access to the USB device plugged into the KVM device (acts as a shared storage device, or network drive, if you will).

Is there any way to get AHK to run on the USB device so that I have access to its use when on either machine (1 or 2)?

Thanks.

Unpack the AHK download and copy it to a folder on the USB drive. Then simply run it from there. For example, if the USB drive comes up as the F drive and the folder where you copied the unpacked AHK files is AutoHotkey and the folder where you have the scripts on the USB drive is MyScripts, then do this...

F:\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkeyA32.exe F:\MyScripts\ScriptFileName.ahk parameters

or

F:\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkeyU32.exe F:\MyScripts\ScriptFileName.ahk parameters

or

F:\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkeyU64.exe F:\MyScripts\ScriptFileName.ahk parameters

...depending on which version of AHK you want to use. Regards, Joe
