I am afraid that this is a COM error, and as such isnt really Python
related. For some reason, the moniker you passed is being rejected.
Unfortunately, I have no idea why. However, you almost certainly would
have the same problem from VB etc - the question is really relating to
Windows monikers, not to Python.
