Hi!
I need to find the selected file(s) in a Windows Explorer window from
another program (I'd look at the window that last had focus). I found
something in the following page that should do the trick: http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/ar...20/188696.aspx
However, it is not Python and, while I'm a competent Python
programmer, Win32, COM and the like are somewhat outside my
competences.
Does any one know how to do something similar in Python?
Tks!

I think the guys on the PyWin32 mailing list were just talking about
something similar earlier this month. Looks like it was how to select
a file in Explorer. You can check out that thread here: http://www.mail-archive.com/py******.../maillist.html
Or just join their mailing list and re-post your question there: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
They're quite nice and very knowledgeable.

Will do! Tks!

At work we are setting up a new web site and had a problem with running a

It would start up notepad to edit the file.
When I went to IIS and changed the default file to index.aspx, this made it
work fine.

I want to write an application that is launched from the context menu
in Windows Explorer/Computer. That is to say, when I am browsing
around my hard drive and get to any location I choose, I want to be
able to select several files, right click my mouse and launch an

However, I don't even know where to start and have a number of

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
