note that backslashes in string literals have special meaning in Python; to make sure a backslash in the string literal really ends up as a backslash in the resulting string, you must either double each backslash, or use "raw" strings: program = r"c:\programmi\internet explorer\iexplorer.exe" file = r"c:\documents and settings\username\desktop\cicciobello.html" also, getting the quoting/escaping right with os.exec/os.spawn is quite messy. I recommend using the subprocess module instead: import subprocess print subprocess.call([program, file]) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
