;; AutoHotKey script
;; https://www.autohotkey.com/

;; Description:
;;    This script setups the Windows system for a smooth operation
;;    of Cubase.
;;    It opens the necessary programs (but not Cubase itself)
;;    It closes unused programs that run in the background (e.g., Dropbox) that
;;    are not required by may decrease Cubase performance

;;  Note:
;;    Below are several mechanisms to close applications. However, not All
;;    of these programs terminate for unknown reason. Might be that these were
;;    started as a Windows Service. Thus, script will be updated in the future.
;;    For services see  
;;    https://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/32023-service-function-set-for-handling-windows-services/
