Bah, I can't get the scrpit to layout on a notepad properly, never had this happen, any ideas? Also. does this apply to the News and Events scrollbar on Empire and will this get rid of that?

Try replying to Juk's post by pressing the "quote" button, copy/paste from there.

Yep, as Herrigel said just quote my OP and then copy the text out from the quote into a ".ahk" file.

Yes this same method can be used to get rid of them too, but I tested it on them and it didn't seem to make any difference at all to the CPU use. If you want to try then all you need to do is change the number I've highlighted in red for this line of code:

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>PostMessage, 0x111 , 2126, 0, Internet Explorer_Server<font color="red">3</font>, Poker Lobby</pre><hr />

Try changing it to 1, 2 or 4 and you should be able to get rid of the other scrolling spam windows.

Yep, this script doesn't work like most AHK scripts: basically you just have to run it once to send a command to turn off the PartyBets bar and then you're done until the next time you run Party.

If you want to have a version that you run before starting Party then you can try this:

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>; PartyBets scrolling-spam killer v2
; ==================================
; Simply run this app to kill the CPU hogging PartyBets scrolling-spam bar.
; - CPU usage on my machine goes from 5%-25% spikes right down to constant 0%-1%!
; - Must run this *BEFORE* starting Party.
; - If it fails sometimes try increasing the sleep timeout from 1000ms.

#SingleInstance force
DetectHiddenWindows On

WinWait, PartyAccount Login
WinWaitClose

; ### You might have to increase this value if it fails sometimes. ###
Sleep, 1000

; Kill PartyBets spam window (WM_COMMAND = 0x111, ID_EXIT=2126).
PostMessage, 0x111 , 2126, 0, Internet Explorer_Server3, PartyPoker.com:

WinWaitClose, Status
Reload</pre><hr />
If you find that sometimes it doesn't work then you'll need to change the line which says "Sleep, 1000" to use a larger value than 1000ms.
