I don't think the Tkinter GUI toolkit as a no-title bar style option. For those kind of details you will have to use the wxPython GUI toolkit which has a style=wx.MINIMIZE_BOX, and then provide a means to exit your program some other way (popup menu or button). Here is a …

I still think it has something to do with the Virgin Mary. Besides, storks don't fly at night and go South in the winter. Just my observations.

Left? Right? I am more a middle of the road person. So guess what I am using to get things done?

Another suggestion would be not to use the IDLE IDE but something like the popular DrPython IDE (needs wxPython) or the PyScripter IDE.

What does your error message say? Windows Vista has a mind of its own, and on occasion will refuse to istall a .DLL file (in this case Python25.dll, the python interpreter packaged with your .exe file) because of conceived security reasons. The crappy part is that it won't tell you …

I added the proper code tags in the above post. In general, for Python on Daniweb: Please use the [b][noparse][code=python][/noparse][/b] and [b][noparse][/code][/noparse][/b] tag pair to enclose your python code. This will preserve the all important indentations. Also, can you give us your error messages. That will help us a lot.
