Script Loops Without Looping Code

[bwon1994]

Hey! Just a warning: The attached file makes "notepad.exe" run infinitly. I had to restart my computer.

I'm pretty new to this so I tried messing around with the examples they gave us. In Notepad1, I got rid of all the comments and the last line of code: WinWaitClose("[CLASS:Notepad]").

So the result looked like this:

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Notepad]")

Send("Hello from Notepad.{ENTER}1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10{ENTER}")

Sleep(500)

Send("!f")

Send("x")

WinWaitActive("Notepad")

Send("n")

I then used "Aut2exe" to make it into an .exe file (which is what is attached). I can't figure out whats wrong . Plus, the actual programs don't ever appear, only the processes of notepad.exe does.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

Thanks in advance ^^ Hope I can learn to use this well

you are constantly running your own script NOT Notepad that comes with windows.

Delete your notepad.exe script and rename your source.

Oh that's what you meant. No it's named Notepad1.exe now and still does the same thing.

Even if I double click once, it runs over and over. Why is that?

you are 100% sure you do not have a script compiled to notepad.exe?

Do you get a lot of Systemtray icons when you start the script?

There was a file called notepad.exe. The file i first made for my vista computer. Thank You
