I don't think that there's anything win32lib is doing to mess things up, but rather than system_exec, you could try win32lib's shellExecute/Ex. I don't know how Rob implements system_exec, but shellExecute calls the Win32 API routine designed expressly for starting new processes in windows. ===== Matt Lewis http://www14.brinkster.com/matthewlewis
