There used to be such a checkbox, but apparently it had problems.  But there is 
still something with that effect, at least in part.  When I installed 3.5.0, 
'python' was switched from 3.4 to 3.5.  That did not happen with the 
preliminary releases, because I did somethng different.  Sorry, I don't 
remember what.

I don't like using the start menu over and over either.  So I pin frequently 
used programs to the taskbar -- always visible.  The 2.7 IDLE icon just says 
Python GUI.  In 3.4, it is Python 3.4 GUI.  Ditto for 3.5 and the future.

Steve: when Firefox and some other programs upgrade, the pinned icon remains.  
When Python upgrades, the pinned IDLE icon disappears.  When, as is normal, the 
upgrade is in the same directory, is there any way to leave the icon, since it 
still points to the right directory and filename?  Or is this icon binary 
specific?
