I'm not sure what you're doing wrong. It works for me. I do have Python on my system path though. I did this: Created a shortcut to my script (test.py). Right-clicked it and chose Properties. Changed it to look like this: C:\Python25\test.py -i Pressed Ok and ran it. It received my parameter just fine. If you want to use pythonw.exe by default, you'll want to change the extension of your script to *.pyw Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
