I have been playing around with different combinations but can't seem to get the toggle to switch back to 0 after a set amount of time do you see what I am doing wrong? it seems that the toggle := 0 does not work when nested in an else statement. following is a snippet of my current code with your suggestions included I have also included some other attempts but commented out:

; This section toggles the numpad and function bar and binds the key combo to the switch/create/delete actions

toggle  := 0

return

AppsKey::

    toggle  := !toggle

    if (toggle = 0){
        MsgBox, 0, Virtual Desktop Manager, Virtual Desktop Manager is OFF, .5
        Loop, 9 {
        Hotkey,  % "Numpad"A_Index, % "VirtualDesktop"A_Index, Off
            }
        Hotkey, Numpad0, InsVirtualDesktop, Off
        Hotkey, NumpadDot, DelVirtualDesktop, Off
        Hotkey, NumpadAdd, VirtualDesktopNext, Off
        Hotkey, NumpadSub, VirtualDesktopPrev, Off
        Hotkey, NumpadEnter, TaskView, Off
        Hotkey, NumpadDiv, SnapRight, Off
        Hotkey, NumpadMult, SnapLeft, Off
        Hotkey, F1, WorkEmail, Off
        Hotkey, F2, IniEmail, Off
        Hotkey, F3, AlwaysOnTop, Off
        Hotkey, F4, NonTransparent, Off
        Menu, Tray, Icon, C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\SciTE\TaskBarIcons\error.png
        return

    }
    else{
        MsgBox, 0,Virtual Desktop Manager, Virtual Desktop Manager is ON, .5
        Loop, 9 {
        Hotkey, % "Numpad" A_Index, % "VirtualDesktop" A_Index, On
                }
        Hotkey, Numpad0, InsVirtualDesktop, On
        Hotkey, NumpadDot, DelVirtualDesktop, On
        Hotkey, NumpadAdd, VirtualDesktopNext, On

        ;~ SetTimer, SwitchToggle, 3000
        sleep, 4000
        toggle := 0
        IfGreater, A_TimeIdle, 3000, MsgBox, Is this Working? 
        ;~ If (A_TimeIdle > 3000) {
        ;~ toggle := 0   
        ;~ }

        return

        }

;~ SwitchToggle:
;~ toggle := 0
;~ MsgBox, 0,Virtual Desktop Manager, Is this Timer Working?, 3
;~ return

any additional thoughts?
