title: How to build AHK scripts automatically on startup?
body: <p>Each time I restart my computer, I have to rebuild all my AHK Scripts so the keyboard shortcuts will work. </p>
  
  <p>For instance, I have <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/41617671/1152809">a script</a> that assigns <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>j</kbd> to set up an instance of the <a href="http://mean.io/" rel="noreferrer">MEAN stack</a> and open my web site. After restarting my computer, pressing <code>^j</code> does nothing until I go into Sublime and <code>^b</code> (Build). <sup><sub><em>I could build from AHK, but I do a lot of work in Sublime, so it's easier to build there.</em></sub></sup></p>

  <strong>What I've tried so far:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p><a href="https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/145312-looking-to-build-a-post-startup-startup-script/" rel="noreferrer">Looking to build a post startup, startup script</a>: This Is concerned with using an AHK script to start many programs on starup. I use Windows' Task Manager > Startup to do this, thus has nothing to do with making. I want to not have to rebuild all my scripts after every restart.</p></li>
  <li><p><a href="https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=9129" rel="noreferrer">Windows 10 - run script on windows startup problem</a>: This assumes the start script is already written and implemented. However, it doesn't appear to give the script.</p></li>
  <li><p><a href="https://autohotkey.com/docs/FAQ.htm" rel="noreferrer">AutoHotKey FAQ</a>: I eventually found a solution here, but it took a long time to dig through the questions so I figured I'd post a question anyway to help others who run into this.</p></li>
