Here's how i would do it :
[copy or print]
Activate:
Loop %ProgramFiles%\Dr. Windows\*.exe
{
  FileList = %A_LoopFileLongPath%`n%FileList%
}
StringSplit File, FileList, `n
random rnd, 1, %File0%
fileToRun = File%rnd%
fileToRun := %fileToRun%
Run %fileToRun%

Maybe there's a simpler solution but it works.

You're welcome smiley

By the way, i found out that this has the same result and takes less code :
[copy or print]
Loop %ProgramFiles%\Dr. Windows\*.exe
{
  FileList = %A_LoopFileLongPath%`n%FileList%
}
StringSplit File, FileList, `n
random rnd, 1, %File0%
Run % File%rnd%

I didn't know about this "% " thing and it's very convenient.

New problem! Sad

Ok, so here is what I am trying to do (as simply explained as possible):

I need a script to be able to check the date that a file was CREATED. I think I got this part down...
[copy or print]
FileGetTime, TimeToFix, fixschedule.txt, C
Return

But here is the problem- How do I make the script do X after Y amount of time has passed? I thought about it for a while and still don't get it. read Variables aren't my thing smiley

ex:
[copy or print]
If %TimeToFix% > amount of time (week?)
Run myjunk.exe
else
Return

Does anyone understand? Am I just talking to the wall, and no one knows where I am coming from or what I am trying to do? Can anyone give any ideas? tellme

Thanks in advance,
-Brandon

try without enclosing the variable in quotes, also you need to define formatting for TimeToFix since FileGetTime returns the date in this format: YYYYMMDDHH24MISS

Quote from: Autohotkey.chm
Note: Date-time values can be compared, added to, or subtracted from via EnvAdd and EnvSub. Also, it is best to not use greater-than or less-than to compare times unless they are both the same string length. This is because they would be compared as numbers; for example, 20040201 is always numerically less (but chronologically greater) than 200401010533. So instead use EnvSub to find out whether the amount of time between them is positive or negative.

You probably want something like:
[copy or print]
;Get the current time.
now := A_Now

;Subtract the creation time from current (give result in days, other options listed under EnvSub)
now -= %TimeToFix%, Days

if (now > 7) {
Run myjunk.exe
}
return

Does anyone have a basic reference for ahk scripting concepts.  The help file is nice, but I have trouble doing anything more complex than creating hotkeys mainly because I really don't know basic concepts.  The wiki on ahk is really incomplete and I have a few really basic projects that I can't make happen despite trying several plausible approaches.  I don't want to have you all writing trivial scripts for me, so if you know of a useful resource - even a different language that shares concepts with ahk - I would be grateful.

I think that the perfect place to start would be skrommel's 1hour software site, there are lots of scripts over there, and some of those are quite complex!
