Well... If you don't even know the path of the directory relative to the root of the drive... I hope your user is not in any hurry. Scanning a single drive is potentially very time-consuming, scanning them all will be awful (especially if your user has mounted, say, a huge network drive...). Don't you have any other, smarter way of finding out the directory? Like reading a configuration file or an entry in the registry? Cheers, Emm -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
