I'll try again. All you need is (a) the official distribution of Python 2.5 for Windows from http://www.python.org (b) the pywin32 package from the URL I gave you. Install both. Click on Start / All Programs/ Python 2.5 and will find *BOTH* IDLE and PythonWin. You and/ or your users can use IDLE or PythonWin, only one copy of Python, no conflicts. Why do you think you need to "disable" IDLE? Just don't use it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
