Thanks for the quick reply :)

I had tried to read up about os.spawn but it was way too much for me 
also.

Though somehow my problem has been solved. I think I know what it is. I 
had slightly altered setup.py, though Im not sure this had anything to 
do with it.

setup(console = listed,
      windows = [{"script": "OneTime.pyw",
                "icon_resources": [(1, "d:/python23/me.ico")]}])

The .exe shows the icon as it should and no longer has the console box. 
However if I cancel out of opening a file a Nonetype is returned which 
raises an exception. A nice little log file is created for me with the 
traceback.

If anyone is interested in seeing the script or the .exe its available 
at:

Its a simple attempt at a One Time pad with GUI. Compressed the .rar 
file is 1907kb, uncompressed its 5.76mb.
