Have you tried it as a service running from a .py file? If you have the same problem it is not related to py2exe. Note that services generally have no access to your desktop, so the startfile() may actually be succeeding, but invisible to you. Try playing with the "Allow service to interact with the desktop" flag, but even then, doing this kind of thing from a service is not recommended (services really are designed for programs that never need to interact with the user) Mark _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
