MsgBox(4096, "IDM Found", "Please Click ok to continue adding new files", 10)

Use FileExists to check for your folder or file.

If FileExists(@ProgramsDir & "\IDM") Then
    MsgBox(4096, "IDM Found", "Please Click ok to continue adding new files", 10)

You can use a part name like "AutoIt" and it will find it by using StringLeft(). Something to learn from.

There's no encoding, that is what happened to text in the old AutoIt tags after the upgrade. If you want an example for FileExist() then check the helpfile, it has everything you need.
