>From the command line, the 'ftype' and 'assoc' commands can be used view how an extension is handled: C:\>assoc .py .py=Python.File C:\>ftype Python.File Python.File="C:\Python25\python.exe" "%1" %* My guess is your command line looks something like this: Python.File="C:\Python25\python.exe" "%1" The script name is being passed, but not the rest of the arguments. I vaguely remember seeing this on an older version one of ActiveState's ActivePython installers. What version of Python are you running? --Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
