The correct option is (3) install a Windows hook to watch for new application to activate, and modify the menu in the hook. You will have to use a hook in order to catch the menu item being chosen anyway. There are Python modules to handle some kinds of hooks, but overall this would be much easier in C. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
