Open hotkeys after stopping all autoit scripts

[Wizardry]

I have a script which is compiled and runs at start up.  Its function is to stop all running scripts by pressing a hotkey.  I obtained this script from this forums as it was authored by someone else.  It works great but I wanted to add one more feature to it.  I wanted to have it close all the running scripts and then open my hotkeys.  So I added the function named: OpenHotkeys to the existing script.  When I invoke the hotkey ("Ctrl - Alt - Shift + Pause) to stop all running scripts, all running scripts are stopped but the set of hotkeys I want to run does not execute.  Any help would be appreciated.

In your HotKeyPressed() function, how do you think the code after the "Return" statement is going to get executed? 

 

Also, Call("f_OpenHotkeys")  is the exact same as f_OpenHotkeys().  You don't need to use the Call function to execute that function.

Thanks for the help.  I have it figured out.  "Return" ends a function.  The Shellexecute command does the trick to run the script I need.

There is no trick, just coding.

The reason I pointed to that code, is because you question was no clear to me and I figure that you may get a hint on how to code your script out of that other script.

Happy coding
