Vista: webbrowser module

I don't have a Vista machine to test this on, but I have users
reporting a problem with the following

e.g.
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open ('http://www.google.com' )
File "webbrowser.pyc ", line 43, in open

File "webbrowser.pyc ", line 250, in open

exceptions.Wind owsError:[Errno 2] The system cannot find the file specified:
Works on XP, OSX, Ubuntu. I find no reference to this problem. Is
there a work-around?

Thanks.

I just installed python 2.5, looking forward to being able to control firefox without having to make it my default browser, but... I don't seem to have that functionality. In IDLE: {'windows-default': }

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
