am as busy as one can be. I'll look at it on Tuesday.

No worries, thank you. I am just about to update for some fixes and improvements anyway.

Thank you for checking it out.

New version 0.0.0.31 in last post.

• Fixed persistence not working correctly.

• Added message box for persistence with Yes or No option. Again, clicking one adds it to the White or Blacklist files.

Usage at 8.3MB RAM

Ok I have an issue wrt the checks. I got a new alert about modified entry, but for some reason it was a long list of mods! So long that it went off the bottom of my screen! What concerns me is that first I couldn't click Yes or No as they were offscreen, but mainly and most importantly, what the hell was it? How do I know if that sort of thing is normal and that I should allow it? That's a lot of mods to allow OR deny! Must've been around 60 or more onscreen, with more below the screen. Some were drivers, some were registry, but I had to end the task as I couldn't shutdown the app.

This was why I planned to keep the app simple, I'm getting into unknown territory, besides the programming I mean! I literally don't know whether those mods were safe or not. Was it windows update or something?

lol, good luck with that

You'll see the master of the a database ( SQLite, one guy ) or the master of an editor ( Notepad++, one guy ), etc.
That one guy, is into it ( whatever that is ) like no one else and, we go and use those.

For you to get into what is your curiosity you'll end up becoming a master at it because there is no way around it.
And to code it in AutoIt, you'll benefit from forking, and IPC, and hooking. But the title is "Learning using AI to create script" and that is what got you here.

I find AutoIt beautiful, but I know how much, and how to squeeze it, to get the most of it. Yet there are those that are better than me. ( No low self esteem, just a fact ) 
You came with an "AI squeezer" and I guess you'll end up teaching the AI or, you'll learn yourself.

All in all is a good experience for you because you really wanna have that, and that will guide you ( your drive ( if you stay driven )).

So, back to coding.
I'd make a main script as orchestrator and others to collect the info and give it to the orchestrator and a separate GUI with a listview with checkmarks to white list or black list. That way the orchestrator can keep on receiving events and the GUI does not slow down anything. Even the tray icon would be it's own script that would communicate with the orchestrator/main script.
And yes, it may be overengineering, but is as non-blocking as possible. And you can close the Tray or the GUI and you can load them back again without loosing track of what is going on.
Also, everything would be noted in SQLite.

There. That is my approach to your project.
Based on that I'd tell you to play around and build experience with SQLite, to find it easy to use. That in the end, is far better than ini files.
