That works, in principle. Put that command into py26.bat, then, in Explorer, Run As Administrator. Make sure to double-escape the percent signs. Alternatively, you can also write a program that writes to HKEY_CURRENT_USER; that would take precedence over HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
