That's 80004005, or E_FAIL. Not very helpful. How quickly does this run? At login time, there is a transition from the login window station to the interactive window station. The login window station runs under a system user account that doesn't have a desktop. As an experiment, you might try adding a delay of a few seconds. Is it possible that this happens for a user that doesn't currently have a profile on that machine? It takes time for the system to build a new profile for a first-time user, and until it's built, the CSIDLs probably do not exist. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
