castcreator1 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 So I was able to figure everything out including the deletion of certain oystick inputs. I have a new issue that i'm not quite too sure How to handle. So I have a auto hotkey script running To utilize volume buttons inside my coin door. The auto hot key runs fine when I don't run instant sheller. What is soon as I do The hot key script no longer works. Any suggestions on how to get instant sheller and my hot key script to run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 How are you running your AHK - as a script or compiled as an .exe? If as a script, try compiling it as an .exe instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, you have to learn how to compile a script into an .exe - https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/Scripts.htm#ahk2exe From there, you should be able to run the .exe you created at startup or however your were launching it before with HideOS in lieu of the script. Barring any errors, should be easy-peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 P.S. You noted that you resolved some other issues. Can you update the following (if resolved) with your solution for others awareness? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castcreator1 Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 Wow!! Thanks for that info. I'll get right on that!! Is there a way to run both exe's then when instantsheller is set up? Yes I'll post to the other threads so we can get them closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 If you are running in a cab you can add it to Startup in Windows so that it launches with Instantsheller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castcreator1 Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 Ok. I converted it and added it to Shell:startup. Still not working. Works outside of instantsheller as long as it's in the startup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Can you load your exe via Windows startup then launch Instant Sheller instead of within Shell:startup? I do not use Instant Sheller so not sure what else to suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katine Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I had a similar issue with Instant Sheller messing with my AutoHotkey scripts. What worked for me was running the AutoHotkey script as an admin. Also, try checking if there’s any conflict in the settings or consider creating a separate script for when Instant Sheller is active. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castcreator1 Posted July 26 Author Share Posted July 26 How do I run AutoHotKey script as administrator in instantsheller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your compiled script should be loaded separate from InstantSheller as part of Windows Startup. You have to go to the exe you compiled, right-click then left-click Properties. From there, click on the Compatibility tab and select "Run this program as an administrator" and click OK to apply the change and close the Properties window.

castcreator1 Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 I can run the script as administrator but how do I get it to run as administrator when instantsheller runs? If I alt-tab in IS( instantsheller) I can get back to thw windows desk top. Once there the auo hotkey exe runs just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 If you followed the steps I outlined to set the .exe to run as administrator, it should do that always. So set it under Windows Start to launch there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castcreator1 Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 Thanks I'll give that a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castcreator1 Posted August 7 Author Share Posted August 7 Well I got it working. I had to create another account in windows because the account it was under would not let the exe run in administrator even though it was an administrator account. Consider it solved. Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
