What is it that you want exactly? you want it to click just as you open the ahk file?
If so, you could do:

Code: Select all

Sleep, 100
click

^s
click
return

That way it runs just when you start it and then you can re-run with ctrl+s.
The "Sleep, 100" is just to give it some time, but can be removed.
And just in case you could add #persistent just at the beginning of the script to keep it from closing.

cose should like this ?

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
Sleep, 100
click

^s
click
return

That's right, but it's not all that necessary, just my "raw code" should do the job too.

AH! so you want to store your *.AHK file inside a folder, then have it go to the desktop and do click that folder/file right?
Then this is the complete code:

Code: Select all

WinWait, , FolderView
IfWinNotActive, , FolderView, WinActivate, , FolderView
WinWaitActive, , FolderView
Send, {LWINDOWN}d{LWINUP}
MouseClick, left,  741,  375
Sleep, 100

[fun_9990]

You asked about clicking outside of the folder(Desktop) if you wanted it to work in chrome.
Apparently Chrome has blank text for window tittle, what I'd do is use the Run function, go to the web you want in chrome, sleep
Lol my bad there you actually can, just use the same code with different window tittle, make it match yours:

Code: Select all

WinWait, Wikipedia`, la enciclopedia libre - Google Chrome, Chrome Legacy Window
IfWinNotActive, Wikipedia`, la enciclopedia libre - Google Chrome, Chrome Legacy Window, WinActivate, Wikipedia`, la enciclopedia libre - Google Chrome, Chrome Legacy Window
WinWaitActive, Wikipedia`, la enciclopedia libre - Google Chrome, Chrome Legacy Window
MouseClick, left,  741,  375
Sleep, 100

That code, switches to your already opened chrome window, and clicks inside it.
If you want to go to that website without it being already open, just use

Code: Select all

Run, http://yourweb.crap

At the beginning of the script.

i test it again
about use in browser
this command worked when it is in desktop but not work in folder

You asked about clicking outside of...

i think this code is not right
because when i open any website and try to click in sample position within it , this code has not any acitivity about open link

[elModo7]

I don't know exactly what you want to do, you first say something, then you want something slightly different xD.
Please explain it better.

when i use command like this :
^s
click
return

Code: Select all

^s

How's something like that won't throw an error? AFAIK that isn't a valid command!

I Could be wrong here, but it looks like you are trying to make a hotkey to send a click, or w/e
It also looks like you want the coords for your clicks to be related to your screen and not just the active window.

Your script is auto executed and that is why when you have been running it (from the file explorer) it has been sending the clicks to the file explorer and not some other app.

First you might want to set the coordmode at the top of the script (you may or may not want to do this.)

Here is how you set your coords to be related to the screen

Code: Select all

CoordMode,Mouse,Screen

Next it looks like what you want to do is use ^s as a hotkey

Here is how you make that.

Code: Select all

^s:: ;the two colons are needed to make it a hotkey
Click, x y
return

I hope this is what you were looking for.
