I did this by writing the path to me script or exe and added %1 to the end, which basically means that my program can (or requires) a parameter passed to it. Here's an example: "C:\Program Files\PyMail\wxsendmail.exe" %1 That should work. Tested on Windows XP SP2 with Python 2.4/2.5. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
