I suspected this might be what Luc was referring to. (I could not tell from his post.) Cheers, Alan Isaac PS Again, the problem with looking for %HOME% first is that it is often defined to be *literally* %USERPROFILE%, so that a 2nd expansion is necessary. (Odd but true.) If you look at %HOME% first, you need to check that you have been handed an actual directory. (E.g., by using os.path.isdir in Python.)
