Angelos Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hello, When installing AutoIt, I had the option to choose the action of a double-click on an .au3 file, between "Run Script" or "Edit Script." I chose "Edit Script" as it was recommended, but now changed my mind and want to have "Run Script" when double-clicking, instead. Is there any way to do this without uninstalling and installing AutoIt? Thank you, Angelos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcal Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Associate your .au3 files with AutoIt3.exe. Right click, open with... check the box to always open with when you get to that part. How To Ask Questions The Smart Way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valuater Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I "strongly" suggest you leave it as "Edit" if you get a "bad" au3 file it could do damage without you looking at it first.. Plus, you can always right click the file and hit "Run Script" for files you know are ok 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelos Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 It was kind of getting annoying having it as edit and having to right click to run the script. Anyways, I edit the script in SciTE, save it and go to the file and run it. I don't need to open the editor for the script again when I go to run the file as I look at it just before in SciTE. At least now I understand why it was recommended to have it as Edit. Anyway, Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelos Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 JdeB -> that's what I was looking for! However, associating the .au3 files with AutoIt, as xcal said, screwed this up and now I have "Open" as the double clicking option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelos Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 Well yeah! That fixes it! Thank you JdeB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcal Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) You could have associated it back with the scite exe in the same way you associated it with the autoit exe. Nothing got "screwed...up," you just didn't understand it. (sp) Edited August 15, 2006 by xcal How To Ask Questions The Smart Way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelos Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hey xcal, I'm not blaiming you for anything. I didn't say YOU screwed that up. Why did you get upset about it? I just referred to your name to explain the situation so that it's easier to understand by reading the last post. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. BTW, I did associate it with SciTE and the option for double clicking became "Open" and it opened it for editing while in the SciTE settings it was set for "Run" (sorry for the runnon). ...and can you explain what I didn't understand? Anyway, this is fixed; thanks to everyone that helped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcal Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) Huh? I'm not upset. When you start the scite/autoit config (ctrl+1), it checks its own registry entry to see which radio button should be checked. It doesn't atcually check the current .au3 file association. So, if you change the association outside of the config, it can easily become out of sync.
