i have the script in my windows startup folder. you can open this quickly by holding WIN+R, then typing `shell:startup` and enter. copy your script into the folder that opens.

autohotkey scripts keep running automatically. you should see a task tray icon for the running script.

I’m new to AutoHotKey and like your AHK script for this – how do you have a script running constantly?
