Well it had to happen my batch files stopped working.
I noticed win 7 wasn't opening the correct folder when I clicked on the edit button in AHP.
Some place I'd never opened before even in explorer. Maybe a 3.296 bug
in any case I desided to redo my autostart again this time typing in the path to the edited batch file. So here is the revised step by step.
Install AutoHot Key and open it's root folder
Open the folder"AutoScriptWriter" and click on (open) AutoScriptWriter.exe
Browse to the ActiveHm.exe (usually in C:\Program Files\ActiveHome Pro) the path and file should appear in the "Initiate the following run line upon record" box
Ensure record & Shrink and record mouse buttons are depressed
Press record,AHP will now open and a stop botton will appear in the top left of the screen
Click on the room that a windows command macro is in
Next click on edit for the macro
In the box that pops up type the complete path of the exe file or batch file for that macro
click ok
Next click on the floppy icon in the bottom Right to save (Note: AHP hotkeys will work here too and usualy work better)
Next click on the stop record button
The AutoScriptWriter screen will appear with all mouse movements and button presses recorded
Go to the bottom of the script and add the line "Exit," (minus the quotation marks)
Click save and give it a name you'll remember
Close the AutoScriptW
you can now convert it to a exe file if you wish and use that to open AHP
