Hi Wayne. I'm interested in the issues your facing. Could you right click on the IDLE shortcut in your start menu and tell me the details? Specifically under: *General*:* type of file, description, location, attributes*, (any *advanced * attributes?); *Shortcut*: tab, the *Target type*, *Target location *(if any), *Target*, *Start in* path, *Run *choice, any *Advanced *options? *Compatability: *anything selected here? *Security: *Are the permissions Full control? *Details: **name, type, path, owner* Looking forward to resolving the issue, Alexander.
