I think the bug report got it right:  due to copy-'n-paste error, the
associations for .py (etc) files were mistakely given IDLE-specific
arguments.  So they don't work.  Everyone on c.l.py who noticed this
(the bug report isn't unique) quickly figured out how to fix it
themself (by editing the file assocations created on their box to get
rid of the inappropriate arguments).

Presumably Martin can fix that by building a new MSI installer after
repairing the MSI setup.  If he does that before doing a cvs up, it's
"just" a matter of cutting a new Windows installer.
