I don't believe so, because by the time the script is even opened, it is too late. I'm not an expert about Windows, but as I understand it, the process that occurs when you double-click the file is: * Windows inspects the file extension and sees it is .py * Windows checks the registry for the file extension association and finds python.exe * Windows calls python.exe with the path to the script as argument * finally python.exe opens the script. Instead, you can use .pyw as the file extension, which should do what you want. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
