Obviously Tim is correct that you can't assume FF is in Program Files, but if you really did want the Program Files dir for other reasons, the way to get it is: >>> from win32com.shell import shell, shellcon >>> shell.SHGetSpecialFolderPath(0, shellcon.CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES) u'C:\\Program Files' >>> Also, IIRC, shortcuts can include environment strings, so specifying "%ProgramFiles%" in the target might also work (but again, only if you are sure you really want Program Files :) Mark _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
