Whenever I double click on a

I want to edit it then I'll choose the "Edit with IDLE" context menu.
So I then have to press F5 to get the program to execute. Now I have
my program's windows along with two IDLE windows cluttering my screen
and task bar. WHAT IS GOING ON? I've tried changing the file
association to python.exe, and that works, but just ONCE (even if I
choose "always use the slected program to launch this kind of file").
IDLE may be great and all, but I fricken' don't want to see it every
time I just want to run a python program!!!!!

This is a windows question -- you'll need to reassign the default
association of PYW files. Look in explorer|tools|folder options.

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?
Try opening up a command window, and determine the current associations.
If I do this on mine:
C:\Projects> assoc .pyw
.pyw=Python.NoConFile
C:\Projects> ftype Python.NoConFile
Python.NoConFile="C:\Python31\pythonw.exe" "%1" %*
It is possible you installed something that switched those settings.
