            _processlow()
            $NewArray[$i] = $list[$i][1]

Func _show()

The hide func works fine but the show func does not return the windows to their previous state. I think it gets into some sort of loop because in the script i have a hotkey that changes between hiding and showing, and after i hide the windows the hotkey only does the the show func. That was probably not the best way to explain it but it means that the show func is never completing.

You should add $list = WinList() to your _show() function. If it's the hotkey toggle that you're having trouble with, it should look similar to the TogglePause from the helpfile.

Func TogglePause()

$Paused = NOT $Paused

While $Paused

sleep(100)

ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)

WEnd

ToolTip("")

EndFunc

HotKeySet("{INS}", "ToggleShow")

Global $show = True

Func ToggleShow()
    $show = NOT $show
    If $show Then
        _show()
    Else
        _hide()
    EndIf
EndFunc

Edit: typo

the problem is not the hotkey becasue the message box for _show appears but the window never show. If i add winlist to the show func won't it overwrite the windows that were stored before. I only want to bring back the windows that were previously hidden.
