On earlier levels you would do something like Start->Settings->Control Panel->Folder Options, then select "File Types" tab, then find .py in the list, click "Advanced" button, select the "open" action and click the "Edit" button, and put that "%1″ %* string at the end replacing whatever follows the actual "c:\path\to\python.exe". I have no idea if the procedure under Vista is similar or substantially different.
