As Mr. Teja has already written in response, COM is a big, and in some ways dated, subject. To answer your specific questions: yes, most Web browsers I know for Windows *are* COM-enabled, Solitaire typically isn't, and I'm not near a Win* machine now to confirm that Paint is. Python has good COM abilities. While, to my surprise, I just realized that I'm unaware of anyone having put together a COM "explorer" with Python, it would be a straightforward project.
