Right, because Explorer is already running by the time your app launches. You need to notify (or restart) Explorer of the change. > How can I make windows reload the registry since the users have a > mandatory profile and the value can be different depending on the > machine they are connecting to or the group they are member of ? > "The machine they are connecting to"? What does that mean? Windows certainly supports the concept of a "roaming profile", where a given user gets the same profile setup no matter what machine they are on. The domain controller sets that up by copying the profile files and setting up the registry entries the first time they login on each machine. You can also use a domain login script to make these kinds of changes. Doing this stuff in a script called from the Startup group is the wrong way to do it. You should be able to use SHSetFolderPath to do this, but it isn't exported by name. You have to use GetProcAddress to fetch the address by ordinal. That's going to make it pretty hard to use from Python. An alternative is to use the IKnownFolder interface, which has a SetPath method to do this. But again, I think you are trying to install a hack solution for something that is fully supported by the normal Windows IT infrastructure. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
