Time Saver (compilation info & -snippets)

the non-compiled script can run itself w/ UIA (aka UI Access, the EXE should not use UIA b/c the personal UIA certificate of the EXE that it requires, expires after a period of time)

and the if statement to detect it being a compiled script can check if it's running as admin, then if it's not it can just attempt to run itself as admin via predetermined tasks that should have been added to task scheduler, which it then triggers via code and terminates the non-admin instance.. generating an error if the task is not added to task scheduler yet. task scheduler can run the EXE as admin w/o the elevation prompt, so when startup task already runs it as admin then the script itself won't have to request task scheduler to take care of that

the EXE running as admin would need to prevent running other software as admin, because it runs other software as admin by default, which usually isn't good

    This is a productivity enhancer plus some quality-of-life features that takes care of tedious tasks for you, saving time for what matters. Click on the tray icon to view hotkey info.
    The compiled script can be found at: https://github.com/Lorenzo501/Lorenzo501/blob/main/My%20Projects%20(Extra)/Compiled/Time%20Saver.exe
    You won't have to dl the libraries nor have AHK installed if you use the compiled script, it will automatically create an INI file in AppData\Local.
    This non-compiled script has an embedded INI at the bottom, but you have to follow these two steps before you can run this script:
    Download and unzip archive in "Lib" folder: https://github.com/thqby/winrt.ahk
    Download raw file into "Lib" folder: https://github.com/Descolada/UIA-v2/blob/main/Lib/UIA.ahk
