Run explorere.exe doesn't terminate when closed

05 Mar 2018, 11:56

Hi, I have a script that lists all my videos and I having one problem that may or may not be caused by autohotkey.

When I run the following code.

runme = %A_WinDir%\explorer.exe /select, %showpth%
Run, %runme%

It opens explorere.exe with the specified file highlighted and works as it should.

The problem occurs when I try to close the explorer.exe window, it closes from view and can not be brought back, but the process does not terminate, which can lead to lots of processes hanging around some times. I can identify the processes with process hacker and get rid of them but thats a hassle.

Am I missing a switch or something to have explorer terminate when I close it ? They do close if I start them the normal way with windows. I am running windows 7

Any help ?

Thanks
