..PYW files may be python scripts. Some OEM computers, my Compaq with Vista
preinstalled for instance, have a version of Python installed and may have many python scripts for various purposes. Search your registry, for keys, with the string pyw. I have installed a different version of python on my WXP system; .pyw files are listed in the registry as being type Python.NoConFile, whatever that means :-). If .PYW is in your registry, then running the batch file will try to find and run the idly.pyw script, passing it up to 9 parameters that you would type behind the name of the batch file when you run it in a command line window. You might get a feel for what it does by searching for idle.pyw and viewing it in notepad or your favorite text viewer. Well written scripts often have comments that even a caveman can understand. -Paul Randall "BoaterDave" wrote in message ...
