If the testdir disallows the search indexer, then there should be no need to disable Windows Search Service.

I suspect, but do not know, that the dialog box effects changes through user-programmable interfaces. So while I would start with manual changes to see if that solves the problem, I presume there must be a system call for changing dir attributes. tjr _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
