Doing so requires writing to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE part of the registry, and write requires admin privileges. Technically speaking, it would be possible to register that source once in an elevated process and then use it without re-registering, but the current code does not support that. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
