Roger you're correct, funny thing is the item on the desktop only sports options that launch explorer viewing the desktop, then when I right click on the same item in that explorer window there is a non-default option 'Expand' that triggers the COM server and gives a view of sys.path. (This is on XP, BTW) I'll have to read up about this interface to explorer and its use in python. Is there a good source of info on this?
