Oh, and I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, but most of my registry knowledge 
was learned on Win2K and XP, and I have no knowledge of what they did in 
Vista or 7, and haven't yet attempted to research such.

I am running as an administrator, but a much more ignorant one on 7 than 
I was on XP.

I have no idea why CMD would show an ftype Python.File as one thing, but 
then the execution would use something from the registry that is different.
