With a running script but failing for no good reason, you're gonna have to share more than "it works on RDP but not in front of the PC" 🤷‍♂️

200% scale

So you do want to have it but can not do it because you don't know but can write a registry patch in CMD 🤪 Don't know what to tell you. If you open the help file there are examples that do just that. ...I'll be leaving this post alone. Take your time and learn, is my best advise. Cheers

...open the help file, ask an AI, and fix the things that the AI got wrong. That's the best way to learn now in 2026. If you wanna hire someone then, that's another story. But if you want to learn, it's good time in history ( because of AI ).

🤔 ..so, wassup doc. Look, AutoIt is not what you need if your aim is to have the magic of what you are doing hidden. Look for another language but, know that anything done in a PC can be seen by those that are OCD enough to figure it out.

..I shall obey your command master

My bad. Saw the array and thought "that map..." 😅

use only strings as key because an integer will show to be buggy, eventually.

Run "shell:startup" from the windows right-click menu. That will open the folder where the shortcuts start when the user login.
