Subject: Re: global hotkeys in windows.

Hi,
This is cool. I was wondering though.. is it preferable to copy the 
AutoHotkey.dll file to some special location before registering it, or 
does registering it mean that it actually copies it to some windows 
directory. (Is there a specific windows directory for dlls?)
