New submission from dongdong:

"unable to create user config directory   Z:\.idlerc   check path and 
permisssion"

It through out this error, when I try to launch the IDLE not as an 
adminnistrator acount. There is an networed disk memory Z: on my computer

this error is caused by configHandler.py script in the Lib/idlelib directory.

Hi Terry,
Sorry,  I missed your resply because it was buried in my trash email.
Here are the configuration in my PC:
HOMEDRIVE=Z:
HOMEPATH=\
HOMESHARE=\\nt3.imec.be\zhai65
LOCALAPPDATA=C:\Users\zhai65\AppData\Local

USERPROFILE=C:\Users\zhai65

In python
>>> expanduser('~')
'C:\\Users\\zhai65'

I partly bypassed the bug by following the instructions shown in my
previous link.
