Running 32-bit Python in 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise. I am very much a Python noob. A .dll in c:\Windows\System32 that I need to access can't be found by ctypes.WinDLL(). Upon further investigation I have found that the file, along with many others, doesn't show up in an os.listdir() either. Within IDLE the files don't appear in the drop-down autocomplete list. I don't have this problem on either of the Windows XP machines I've tried it on, but in Win7 I see the same behavior in both 2.7 and 3.2.
