I might be inclined to use something else, for example SysInternals' 'handle' program. Here for example executing handle -a .dll looks for all handles that are for something which includes ".dll" in its name. Here, now, for example, that gives: System pid: 4 350: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll lsass.exe pid: 740 8C: HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet005\Control\Lsa\SspiCache\msapsspc.dll lsass.exe pid: 740 90: HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet005\Control\Lsa\SspiCache\msnsspc.dll lsass.exe pid: 740 98: HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet005\Control\Lsa\SspiCache\digest.dll Dropbox.exe pid: 2828 534: C:\WINDOWS\system32\hnetcfg.dll (as those lines were too long for my email client's write window, and wrapped, I've spaced them out) Executing the handle command and redirecting its output to a file which you then read might work for you. -- Jeremy C B Nicoll - my opinions are my own. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
