It was the default action before with the right-click. I don't care
about double-click. I just looked on my XP, and that's the way it's done
on 2.5.2 there. I have no idea how this got onto double-click. Let's
not worry about it in any case.
We can quibble some more, but I'm done with this effort. See my next
post to Alan in a minute or two. Nevertheless, thanks for the help.
That's not entirely true, actually. See, the DEFAULT association for
Python files, as set by the installation, is just to run the damn
things using python.exe or pythonw.exe - NOT to edit them in IDLE. By
default, if you want to edit the script you right-click and select
"Open in IDLE" (or you use some other editor/IDE), but if you
double-click it the script just runs. What's messed with all of that
is your insistence that you want IDLE to be the default action. And
there's nothing wrong with that either - but you need to recognize
that it is NOT the default setting, and plan accordingly.
