Use the code in ChrisL or my reply instead of yours and it will work. Compare yours to it and you will see your error.

Edit - too slow again

Just to point out.. the "I am An Arse = 1" was directed at me for leaving the loop out

well these codes arent working for me and i have the beta version of autoit

Create a test script by itself without trying to put it in your own code. The codes work, it's probably just your implementation. After creating a 'Blank' Test.au3 script insert this code:

HotKeySet("!{F9}", "Close");alt + F9 to close

Dim $Explorer = Run(@ProgramFilesDir & '\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE')
Dim $Calc = Run('calc.exe')
Dim $NotePad = Run('Notepad.exe')
Dim $Yahoo = Run(@ProgramFilesDir & '\Yahoo!\Messenger\YPager.exe')
$IamAnArse = 1

While $IAmAnArse
Sleep (1000)
Wend

Func Close()
    If ProcessExists($Explorer) Then ProcessClose ($Explorer)
    If ProcessExists($Calc) Then ProcessClose ($Calc)
    If ProcessExists($NotePad) Then ProcessClose ($NotePad)
    If ProcessExists($Yahoo) Then ProcessClose ($Yahoo)
    $IamAnArse = 0
EndFunc

Notice this code does not require 'Beta', but just to keep things simple:

Run the code using Alt+F5 (holding both the Alt down while you press F5)

Then as the windows are all open, use the Alt+F9 (again holding down Alt while you press F9).

Also, make sure the paths are correct for you for your yahoo and internet explorer.

If it still doesn't work, Close SciTe, Close AutoIt, and enjoy your family/friends for the rest of the day.

P.S. What OS are you using, just for curiousity sakes?

Edit: I noticed that there was an un-needed set of quotes in the Run() yahoo.
