Solved: Why does this batch file repeat?

start /max itunes.exe
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 8000 >NUL
start /max C:\Programs\EvilLyrics\EvilLyrics.exe
taskkill /im GoogleDesktop.exe

exit

Post the code for the AutoHotkey script:

Copy of itunes.ahk

 

[jpboyrox]

it's nothing, really, just setting my mouse in the right place:
MouseClick, left, 269, 489

 

[jpboyrox]

I took that out but it made no difference

 

[Squashman]

launch the batch file from the cmd prompt instead of double clicking it and shows the output on the console.

 

[jpboyrox]

how?

 

[Squashman]

Open up a cmd prompt
Use the CD command to change to the directory where the batch file is located.
run the batch file by typing its name at the cmd prompt.

When the batch file is done running right click the title bar at the top of the cmd window and select: Edit > Select All.
Press the enter key. This will copy everything to the clipboard.
Paste that output here.

Then it opened a new cmd window and repeated the file

 

[Squashman]

Physically upload your batch file and Autohotkey script here. The files themselves.

 

[jpboyrox]

not sure if that upload worked...

 

[jpboyrox]

think that worked there

 

[Squashman]

This line is not in the files I downloaded.

"D:\Users\Josh\Desktop\Josh's Documents\Computers\Misc\iTunes Quick Launch\Copy of itunes.ahk"

You sure you are executing the correct file. I myself and another batch jockey around here have made the simple mistake of having two copies of a batch file on our computers and editing one of them but executing the other and eventually figured out the bone headed mistake we were making.

yeah sorry, I took out that line to see if the autohotkey script was causing this to happen. It was not, the batch file repeats anyway

 

[jpboyrox]

discovered that it works if the line:
"C:\Programs\Google\Google Desktop Search\GoogleDesktop.exe" /sidebar

is replaced with a .lnk to that path
