I have lost the convenient feature that to edit a .py file I could

The workaround is not hard, but it wouild be nice to get this feature
back.
It happened when I was mungeing around and downloaded Python 2.3.3 in
addition to Python 2.7.1, and got into trouble until I discovered
that I was involuntarily RUNNING the older version. So I cleaned it
out, but still I have this aftermath.
Is there a Windows guru out there who can tell be how to add to the
right-click menu clicking on myfile.py?
Uncle Ben
It was suggested to me privately that I search for
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell,
right_click on "shell",
create a new key called "EDIT with IDLE"
and another called "command python.exe %1"
Problem:
Searching on the HKEY group as above yields no "shell".
Did I not do it right, or is there another way?
(I would think that that command would execute my file, not edit it.
But maybe I will be surprised.)
(I am running Windows 7, 64-bit.)
Probably the simplest solution would be to install the appropriate
version of Python again.
