Hi, I have used your script to pop up an exit dialog when I want to quit a game. One question though: When the dialog is called it will minimize a game instead of displaying over the game. Is this what you are experiencing? Is there a way around it?

Thank you for ur reply. In my version of shift 2 even win key is not bringing the start menu because it is desabled by the game. In any case you are using the same method as me to close games. I have also noticed about the admin thing. I wonder if there is a small 3rd party utility that can always register button presses in the background and then send them to ahk or batch. For instance, taskkill command will kill anything u just have to be able to call it with a button or controller press.

Hi, All I don't think this question had been asked or ever answered. I am still learning about the launchbox. I am transitioning from Maximus Arcade. I have issues exiting some gog or windows games. A good example would be NFS SHIFT2, or non-steam evil within 2. To exit I have an ahk script that looks for certain running processes and if a particular game process is started by pressing a button I can kill it and return to big box. The problem is that some games hook to your controllers or keyboard so using your key combo no longer works to exit some games. As soon as you alt tab out of the game you can run your script or even launch box's internal routines to exit the game. But within the game none of the buttons communicate with autohotkey. Again this is an issue only in 1% of the games but still. In contrast, Maximum arcade constantly runs in the background and monitors your key strokes or button presses and then it can reliably exit every game. Is there a similar workaround for the launch box?
