The docs could add an example commandline to edit the per-user .ini: NT 6: notepad "%LOCALAPPDATA%\py.ini" NT 5: notepad "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\py.ini" Editing the global .ini would be simpler if the launcher looked for it in FOLDERID_ProgramData (i.e. CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA). In that case even a limited user could create it. For example: NT 6: notepad "%ProgramData%\py.ini" NT 5: notepad "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\py.ini" The security on %ProgramData% grants full control to the creator of files and directories. It also allows all users to create, read and execute files and directories. ---------- nosy: +eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23633> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
