4. Removing: Scripts stop automatically, but you can remove them manually by right-clicking the chart and choosing "Remove Script."

To use the script in MetaTrader 4 you need to change the extension of the file KeyFinder2.mq5 to mq4 and recompile it in MetaEditor. The KeyFinder.mqh file containing the class code should be stored in the same folder (for example, MQL5\Scripts) as the main script file.
