Yes, it's used outside of the function which created it

Sorry but I've just seen your post. If i'm not mistaken you're telling me to use a Local instead of a Global but since i'm creating the fileopen handle inside a function, wouldn't fileclose fail if i declare the handle as local? Am i missing something?

Perfect, i'll have a look at your UDF. Thanks again

May i ask another thing here just to avoid creating another topic for a simple question? Is there any potential problem using OnAutoItExitRegister in and UDF to close a file handle?

I'm not even using it in another script. I'm just inserting _Aut2Log_Settings() after the #include-once like this #include-once _Aut2Log_Settings() ; #INDEX# ======================================================================================================================= ; Title .........: Aut2Log ; AutoIt Version : 3.3.12.0 ; Language ......: English ; Description ...: Logging UDF ; =============================================================================================================================== ... Jibba Jabba... --Edit-- Oh, by the way, i'm using the latest autoit stable version --Edit2-- I hate myself. Told you i was missing something stupid and i realized right now my error! :ranting: Really sorry, thanks and goodbye

Hey all, i've what i suppose to be a stupid problem with this script.

From helpfile: So, this does the trick $var = GuiCtrlRead($Input1) Send("{" & $var & "down}", 1) sleep(20) Send("{" & $var & "up}", 1)

Thanks, i'll read it after i finished my homwork. I have searched on google for that for hours but i never think about looking for "Native applications" cause i never heard about them. (Sorry for my ignorance )

Thanks but the function you linked me is a general startup. I wanted to use the registry key i linked (there are many others to do approx the same ) cause when you put a program in this one you can use a "console" like the one shown below in the spoiler

Hi all, i'm here to ask some informations about starting up a program on windows startup. That's not for a simple operation, like putting the exe in the startup folder. I want to boot it first on system boot using this reg key: "HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerBootExecute" I ask here cause i found an exe that uses this function but it's not a simple exe, when i try to start it up windows says me that the file isn't a win32 app. So i can't understand how it's written (It was avast's antivirus boot scan exe). PS That's just a proof of concept i want to code (if it's possible), not malware or any other bad software.
