Hi List, In regard to my problem with ed sharp finding the python compiler, I now get the message that windows can not open the file "#msntb_toolbar_full_name# " This message also pops up when I press windows key+e to access "my computer." I think that because this file can not be found, ed sharp can not find the python compiler. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can succeed in getting windows to open this file? I really want to learn python using ed sharp but I am at a loss as to what to do and will appreciate any suggestions you can give me. Bob
