I do have access to a system to test this on, so here's the results: C:\>assoc .py .py=Python.File C:\>ftype Python.File Python.File="C:\Python27\python.exe" "%1" %* As I understand it, the first command will tell you the name that you need for the second command, and the second one will tell you what actually gets executed. I have several Pythons installed on this particular computer, apparently with 2.7 being the default (not that I care; I usually invoke "\python33\python script.py" or similar to choose my interpreter). Hope that's of value! ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
