special hotkey

[z999]

I want to use a special programmable key on my keyboard to open a program that will shut down certain processes and then open a game. but I want that the program will have a GUI so I can send it to my friends and change it without having to open scite. my question is can I create a hotkey for the programmable key?

By the way, whats the name of the game? And whats the link to the game?

I want it to close the ICQ, MSN messenger and some monitoring program and then open Need For Speed: Carbon.

Hi,

an easy would be :

HotKeySet(IniRead("hotkey.ini", "start", "start", "no"), "_start")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd


Func _start()
    MsgBox(0, "", "Huhu")
EndFunc   ;==>_start

hotkey.ini:

[start]
start={F5}

All you have to do is tell your friends how to defne hotkeys in Autoit.

So long,

Mega

I didn't mean the F keys! (lol) I meant the special Internet keys that you can program to open programs and stuff...

I already found something... there's one application that will be opened with the key and uses .ini file to read the processes and another one to set the processes to the .ini file
