Launch Chrome Browser or any EXE
« on: May 14, 2015, 11:18:41 AM »
Any way to launch Chrome Browser (or any browser or EXE for that matter) and still take advantage of hot key closure? That way would not have to exit AM.

After closing browser, AM being closed immediately too, right?!

Use this autoit-script. It kills the task of attract.exe after closing firefox.
Code: [Select]
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

run ('C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe')
;run ('C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe')

While 1

If ProcessExists("firefox.exe") Then

Else
ProcessClose("attract.exe")
Exit

EndIf

WEnd

So basically you are wanting to load your browser and then exit that with the esc button like you do with your emulators?. Am I right in guessing that? And you are on windows correct? I've done that before..but it was some years back with mala...let me dig...
