Windows equivalent of /dev/null?
I am sharing a thunderbird profile between Linux and Windows installs -- however one of the extensions that works on the Linux side (a python-based notifier addon for Docky) causes a problem when Thunderbird is opened from Windows.
The exact problem is that I get two popups saying that 'indicator.py' has no programs associated with it which I must dismiss if I want Thunderbird to open. If it happened in Linux, I would simply associate the .py extension with /dev/null and have the error done away with, but I'm not sure how to do something similar from Windows (Vista).
Any ideas?
UPDATE: I have tried editing the registry entry for the .py file extension (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\py_auto_file\shell\open\command) and have changed the registry entry to point to \Device\Null -- however I now get errors that "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file" when opening a .py file.
