Good idea. I tried this, however, modifying that key makes browsers unhappy as they think they're no longer the default browser. If this were a one-off solution, this would be good enough, but it needs to be transparent enough to keep the user happy. Perhaps I could catch the actual HTTP network request... that sounds scary though. _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
