thanks james for the link, however I have tryed everything that was listed on the Microsofts site, and vc is still trying to open any .py file using notepad,and now most of my commands are not working. do you know by chance what default program win 8.1 uses to open a .py file? I looked on my other computer and it has listed under (open using) unknown program.i may have to reinstall windows in order to take care of this issue,but that's my last option

You lost me.

Windows doesn't open py files by default in any program unless you installed python for some reason.  VoxCommando does not "open" py files in another program unless you use a Launch action but I can't think why you would do that.

Maybe you can explain in some detail what you are actually trying to do.

sorry for making ya lost james, i downloaded a xml file  off of the vc xml exchange called (WHO IS HOME) it gives you a command that ounce activated it tells you who and what all devices are connected to the internet, however you have to go and change the names and ip address's in the .py file, and by mistake i opened it using (NOTEPAD) and now none of my commands that use the .py file works. hope this better explains it......btw i have not installed python at any time.....

sorry to ask another? but if windows doesn't open any .py files when using vc than is there away to get vc to be the one that opens it? or what runs the .py files when using vc and issueing a command that uses the .py file?
