I'm not a Windows guru, so I might be off-mark here (I'm sure somebody will correct me) but as I understand it, the "default Python" under Windows is the one that was installed most recently.
It is an option in the installer.
So, assuming you have Python2.5 installed in Python25 and Python 2.7 in Python27, I would expect that you also have the actual executables in: C:\Program Files\python25.exe C:\Program Files\python27.exe
The installers actually tried to put them in C:/python25/python.exe, etc, but lets you choose an install directory other than /.
Beyond that, I don't know what going on either. -- Terry Jan Reedy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
