I changed the command you gave me a bit so it doesn't get rid of the other paths: os.environ["PATH"]+=";C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox;" # can't remember the path for firefox right now... But either way, it ends up going right back to the previous value after I close IDLE. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
