This would cause trouble in at least two cases that I've seen. One was a multiboot machine that had Windows 2000 on D: and Windows XP on C:. The other was a machine that had the Program Files folder copied, for reasons I don't recall (and perhaps only temporarily), to the D: drive. Use one of the defined APIs for getting this information, not a hack like this please. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
