ok, it works all right now

the minor issue is that i could not create the shortcut with the -n
flag as you pointed out, that's why i issued both commands:
C:\Python30\pythonw.exe
C:\Python30\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw -n

via the C: prompt

and the graphic window finally worked correctly

thank you again
