I know that. I've tried reassigning it from pythonw.exe to python.exe, and like I said, it will work for one invocation. But it seems to revert back the next time I double click. But also, what is wrong with it being pythonw.exe? Why does pythonw.exe open up IDLE? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
