Hey @davebrny, thanks for the quick answer.
Given the fact that last time only a restart "fixed" it, I haven't dared to try again yet :)
But I will and post the feedback in here in case someone needs it in the future.

Hello again @davebrny. I've done several tests and the problem didn't appear again. That was weird the first time, didn't understand why would something like that even happen - some sort of loop, yes, but how? :)

While testing I noticed just one thing: the script doesn't seem to work for desktop files or folders. Tested in several places and on several file extensions, including repeatedly on file_properties.ahk, nothing "bad" happened anymore, but on desktop it just won't work. :)

Anyway, thanks very much for this script and the rest of them, some are sooo, sooo helpful!
