Summary: PythonWin Menus don't work

Initial Comment:
Platform Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
New install of Python 2.3.3 and Win23all 201.1.
Start PythonWin. The IDE menus drop down, but nothing
happens when an item is selected. Toolbar buttons do
nothing.

Just checked; 176 Toolbar Default-Bar keys in the registry.
Am getting in habit of deleting these keys and changing
Toolbar Default-Summary-> bars to 0. I'd like to understand
the registry api so I can write a scipt to make the above
changes automatically. Please explain the registry api.

The # of Toolbar Default-Bar keys in the registry is growing
again, but at a lot slower rate. They seem to fall into 2
sets based on the key names inside. This suggests that we
need to keep just 2 of these around. True?

I commented out line 467  - tb.dialog.SaveState() and now
the registry does not grow. Of course I now don't have any
memory of debugger changes. I wonder about line 466 - if
tb.dialog is not None: ??? should it be - if tb.dialog is
None: ???

Appears that commenting 461 in debugger is not the right
thing to do, as the registry keys are still accumulating.

What debugger code needs fixing to stop the above?

So now I see line 461
frame.SaveBarState("ToolbarDebugging"). Is there a better
fix than just commenting this?

Nuking the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python 2.3\Python for
Win32 key solved it! 

Regarding the idea of commenting line 462 in
Pythonwin\pywin\debugger.py. That line reads:
		# Hide the debuger toolbars (as they wont normally form
part of the main toolbar state.

This sounds like it might be the same as

I can enter python expressions and statements and they work
as expected. Is that what you mean by commands?

Other bizarre things happen at the same time: the Task
Manager won't start. If I start the Task Manager first, then
PythonWin, some of the Task Manager Menus don't work. 

The Task Manager shows over 5000 USER objects in use by
pythonwin.exe; on another machine where things are OK there
are 75 USER Objects.

Similar problems have surafced in the past on other machines.

How bizarre!  Never heard anything like this before!  Does
the rest of Pythonwin work?  ie, can you enter commands at
the interactive window?
