From a general command prompt (cmd.exe) on my work machine, here's what you would have to work with: HOMEDRIVE=H: HOMEPATH=\ HOMESHARE=\\server\share\userdirectory USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\username There is no HOME set here. So, what's the right home directory for me on this PC? Depending on your opinion of "right" you could end up with three different answers: "H:\", "\\server\share\userdirectory", or "C:\Documents and Settings\username" all seem like valid candidates to me. Just going by HOMEPATH isn't going to be helpful if I were to run your code though. -- Jerry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
