It might not happen often, but in case you dl something that includes an ahk script that you didn't notice, you would prevent it running without your knowledge.

This is a wise security precaution however.
With the right-clisk context menu in Windows Explorer it IS an extra couple of steps (close running instance, compile ahk, run exe as admin), but not much more difficult! That's interesting that it breaks some code, I have noticed some irregularities too, but it's possible that compiling does syntax checking etc more thoroughly than just running the plain script...
This is probably not a high security area, but I just like to take as much control as I can.
