f & y::
Run taskmgr
return

Save with a .ahk extension and then run the script by double-clicking.
Test it by pressing the key f key and the y key at the same time, then the task manager should come up. You could also change what keys you would want to use by changing the f and y key. Just make sure that they have an & between them.

Taken from the help file:

How do I put my hotkeys and hotstrings into effect automatically every time I start my PC?

There is a folder in the Start Menu called Startup. If you put a shortcut to your script in that folder, the script will launch automatically every time you start your PC. To create a shortcut:

Select the script file in Explorer and press Control-C.
Right-click the Start button and choose "Explore All Users".
Navigate to the Startup folder inside the Programs folder.
From the menu bar, choose Edit > Paste Shortcut. The shortcut to the script should now be in the Startup folder.

works great except or the fact that the "f" key is now useless. I can only use it again if i exit the script.

Edit: Nevermind. all u gotta do is add this line to the script

f::Send {f}

the key does become much slower when typing havent figured out solution to that yet

Any idea where I can find one in Canada or available to Canada? Mad Catz store only ships within the US

Future Shop?

edit: You have EB Games in Toronto.

pyros · 05-02-2007, 10:50 AM

Yeah.. but general rule of thumb up here is we get everything late unless its a major release, ie: ps3/360/wii/etc.....

I called the ebgames around the corner in downtown Toronto and they do not have them in yet and have no idea when they would be. Told me to keep checking back

Also, futureshop nor bestbuy have it listed on their websites yet. No listing, no stock :/

why not use one of the F1-F10 keys for the task manager?

e.g:

Code:

f1::Send {esc}

f2::
Run taskmgr
return

f3::Send {tab}

f4::Send !{f4}

etc.

Hey, I'd like to check that piece out!

I hope the PC is coming along and the monitor moulding. (Let me know if you need any help).

I got mine today at gamestop and I must say this thing is awesome! My pc is in the trunk and it works very well in the drivers seat.

DK888 · 05-02-2007, 07:36 PM

what size battery(s) does it use?

fixerofallthing · 05-02-2007, 07:38 PM
