Post subject:  Preview pane autoscript for win7

I hid the command bar in windows 7 as I don't use it but I'm trying to do a little script for show/hide preview pane in windows 7 (using the hotkeys ALT+P).

Launching manually works, but the command/compiled *.exe doesn't. It hangs Explorer.exe and I've to restart it.

This is its code:
Code:
#NoTrayIcon
Send,{Alt down}{P}{Alt up}
Exit


Any ideas? :)

If you are using an older version of AutoHotkey, it has an issue with Windows Defender/Microsoft Security Essentials. It blocks compiled EXEs scripts from running for some time while it scans them and during that time it nearly freezes Explorer and sometimes the whole of Windows. Update to the latest AutoHotkey and try compiling the script using the newest compiler again.

Also, for the script to be compatible with Windows 8, use small p because AutoHotkey takes P as Shift+p. (Alt+Shift+P in Windows 8 toggles the Details pane.)

#NoTrayIcon
Send,{Alt down}{p}{Alt up}

Good news. The latest Classic Shell 4.0.6 has a built-in button now to toggle the folder/navigation pane as well as the Details pane and the Preview pane.
