I'm glad you found a solution. I think my point was that you can use the FindExecutable API to determine whatever is associated and use that (special-casing the shimgvw DLL to use RunDLL). Obviously, if that executable doesn't honour the wait then you're stuck, so maybe using shimgvw universally is the solution. TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
