Thanks Jeff, this too looks like it would work fine, as long as you got your wrapper just right. I'll probably use this, just mentioning that a single mis-placed apostrophe in front of the function line, and your crashing script is accidentally running even though you didn't mean for it to. Chip

From: "Ron Parker" Alternatively, if you want something fully automated, you can write a short script that defines a hotkey to start the script you're developing. You could even go a step further and make it fully configurable as to which hotkeys start which scripts. And, if anyone ever ma

Not at all, I was just trying to correct myself; I had the name of your script wrong. my issue was that in vista, sometimes, when you alt-tabbed to a windows explorer window, you would find that the list view of files would not be the focused control. others mentioned noticing the same annoyance

That error means that you're running Window-Eyes on Vista or newer, and that for some reason wecom.exe is not responding. There are a couple different reasons why that might be happening, but the most likely is that something broke in the install. I'd suggest uninstalling and reinstalling W
