That'd be it, I expect. Windows has two parallel registry trees; if you launch a 32-bit program, it sees one.. if you launch a 64-bit program, it sees the other. What looks like the exact same keys can be different as a result. The MSI is probably writing the keys into the 32-bit registry, and Explorer is now a 64-bit application. You can add the associations for Edit manually. Though not to "idle.pyw", which you keep -- repeatedly -- saying you try and errors. Of course it errors. That's a python script, not an executable. Associate to pythonw.exe, and pass it the path to idle.pyw, and then -n -e "%1" -- which will be replaced with the actual filename. But you were told that already and seem to have just dismissed it out of hand. Like: PATH\pythonw.exe PATH\idle.pyw -n -e "%1" ... where PATH is whatever the location of those files are in your environment. Yes, its moderately annoying that you have to do this yourself; maybe you wouldn't if you installed 64-bit python, but I can't be sure. Maybe it has nothing to do with 32 or 64-bitness at all and my guess is wrong. Maybe your profile has gone wonky. But it doesn't matter. You can add the Edit association yourself. Its a one-time fix. -- Stephen Hansen ... Also: Ixokai ... Mail: me+list/python (AT) ixokai (DOT) io ... Blog: http://meh.ixokai.io/
