As a Windows driver guy, I work a lot in the \windows\system32\drivers directory. I got used to typing that as \wi <tab> \syst <tab><tab> \dr <tab> letting tab completion fill it in. Well, in Windows XP, Microsoft introduced a new utility in "system32" called "driverquery.exe". Because it is alphabetically before "drivers", that now appears. Now, you would think that this is just a trivially minor inconvenience, but to this day, 6 years after XP, I still find myself looking at "driverquery.exe" instead of the "drivers" directory. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
