I haven't gone back through this complicated thread so I apologize if this has already been mentioned. I only found a registry based way for vista and win7. http://www.techspot.com/guides/210-edit-windows-extended-context-menu/ http://www.winvistaclub.com/e11.html There is also the 'extended' menu by shift+right-click. Maybe the Edit option can show up there. Adam -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
