You don't have to have one script file per task. For example, the three following tasks can be in one ahk file: ^y::run http://www.yahoo.com ^g::run http://www.google.com ^e::exit So, pressing the hotkey 'ctrl+y' will launch Yahoo, pressing the hotkey 'ctrl+g' will launch Google and pressing the hotkey 'ctrl+e' will terminate the script. It is a very simple yet useful example. I tested with success ahk files with more than 100 tasks. Of course with so many tasks you could have to use an Enterpad because it is not practical to remember all the hotkeys. Sonia Several tasks can be defined inside one ahk file.
