Autohotkey is the only reason I still use windows at home and it makes work (where I have to use windows) actually bearable.

I have enjoyed reading the comments here, I have picked up some good tips; obvious ones I should have actually thought of.

I am glad I am not they only person who started programming using this language. I have to say that in my limited experience the documentation for Autohotkey is second to none despite that the syntax could use improvement.
