Okay, I finally got the 2 second delay AHK set up so that there are no accidental exits during those key games! It is freaking great! :cheers:
Whew, now that the excitement is over, here is how I did it. I first downloaded the Auto Hot Key program from www.autohotkey.com. I then copied and pasted this text into a blank text document:
--- Quote ---;HoldEscape:
toggletimer = 0
esckill = 1
SetKeyDelay, 10, 20
$esc::
if toggletimer = 0
SetTimer, resettimer, 1000
toggletimer++
if toggletimer > 3
goto, toggleesckill
if esckill = 1
{
tt=0 ; set time to 0
loop,100
{
GetKeyState, s , esc, p
if s=U
Break
tt+=25
sleep 25
}
if tt>=2000 ; if key pressed for 2 or more sec
{
send, {esc}
toggletimer = 0
sleep 1200
}
}
else
{
send, {esc}
}
return
resettimer:
toggletimer = 0
return
toggleesckill:
soundplay, *48
toggletimer = 0
esckill *= -1
sleep 500
return
--- End quote ---
After that was done, I right clicked on the document, selected properties, and chose to have AutoHotKey open the file from the program files folder. I then copied the document, and put a copy in my startup folder. Now it works like a champ! :applaud: I have attached said .ahk file. Just delete the .txt after downloading it.

I bought the motion sensor today from radioshack and the led's for the coindoor. I'll report back later with updates.

I just wanted to add that I took care of a necessary evil today. I bought a new 500W power supply from Fry's electronics. I knew that when I installed the computer into the cabinet, it was too far towards the back. So tonight, since I new I would have it apart anyways, I took the board out that had the entire computer mounted to it and made the necessary adjustments. I also added a fan for the harddrives to keep them cool. It was a well spent two/three hour adventure. The only problem now is that it is 5am! :banghead:
