A Better Approach

[Guest rathore]

tested!... this is definitely a better approach

this script will install a hotkey ctrl+1 in textpad that'll run any script that's currently loaded, be it .ahk / .aut / .au3 or even .bat or .cmd.

based on info here

here's the .au3 code:

RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 4\Tools\0","Properties","REG_BINARY",'000000005680000046000000')
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 4\Tools\0","MenuText","REG_SZ",'Run Script')
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 4\Tools\0","Command","REG_SZ",@ComSpec)
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 4\Tools\0","Parameters","REG_SZ",' /c start $DosFile')
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 4\Tools\0","Folder","REG_SZ",'$FileDir')
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 4\Tools\0","RE","REG_SZ",'')
