Hmm, I clicked properties and the word python doesn't appear in the shortcut string. The shortcut string simply points to the .py file. I think Windows knows to run Python because of some registry entry that maps the .py extension to python.exe. I don't know which entry and changing it sounds a little bit dangerous. I did see that I could select a button launch the dos box minimized, so it doesn't clutter up the screen. That mostly solves the immediate problem. A more complete solution (eliminate dos box altogether) would be nice, but I can live with an auto-minimized box. Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
