Can you open it in Notepad from the same command prompt?

Opens with Notepad and jEdit from the menu off a py file.

That's not what I asked.

where you try to run python? Or indeed any command prompt:

C:\WINDOWS> notepad C:\Users\Wayne\.idlerc\recent-files.lst

I see recent-files.lst is openable with Word.

Thats nort a surprise, its probably just a text file, so Windows could associate just about anything!

I see mydir_math.py is opened with python.exe!!??

Which is what you'd expect, after all the default behaviour for a python script should surely be to get executed by Python? What else would you expect?
