yeah, you know what i totally didn't think about setting the environmental values (yeah Media Center is the same as XP Pro). i guess i should of known that. geeze now i feel like a moron. however, i didn't know about that quick little DOS trick.
thanks a lot guys for such a quick response and pointing out the obvious. this has got to be the best and most friendly list ever. happy new year to you all, On 12/31/06, Alan Gauld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

You can just type in the PATH statement every time you start DOS PATH= %PATH%;D:\Python25 And it will have the same effect. You can even create a Batch file and put it into somewhere your PATH can see D:\Python25\python %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 should work. But how did you install Python if you can't change the system? If you have access to install programs you have access to set environment variables, at least for yourself!
