Auto HotKeys won't work anymore

Joe, I'm hoping you will see this.  I screwed up again.  I moved the Auto HotKeys scripts text file from one folder to another and now, none of my scripts work.  I can still access all the information if I go to the new folder and click on edit but the "H" icon no longer shows up at the bottom.  Help please.

Hi Carlos,

> I'm hoping you will see this.

Got it! And I'm sure that I can help you to solve this, but I'm not yet understanding the problem.

> moved the Auto HotKeys scripts text file from one folder to another and now, none of my scripts work

AutoHotkey scripts can reside anywhere, as long as they're properly programmed. I have many AHK scripts in many folders.

> I can still access all the information

Do you mean access the AHK scripts (the plain text source code)?

> go to the new folder and click on edit

Click on Edit where?

> the "H" icon no longer shows up at the bottom

That means the script is not running.

Is it one script or more than one? Is the purpose only to define hotkeys and/or hotstrings or does the script(s) do other things? Can you post the script(s), being sure that there isn't any sensitive/private info? If you prefer to handle this via PM, that's fine with me. Regards, Joe

Joe, I put all my scripts inside of a Notepad document, see Pic 1.  I will show you a partial list of the scripts in Pic 2User generated image User generated image

One other thing, when I right click on the AutoHot Scripts (the one with the H), I go to open with and select Notepad and I can see all of the scripts which is where I go when I want to edit something.
