As opposed to what, "before install"? I can't tell what you're getting at.
All of Idle is installed under Tools\idle\ on Windows, and the Start menu
shortcut reads (assuming the default install path):
C:\Python22\pythonw.exe "C:\PYTHON22\Tools\idle\idle.pyw"

Where do you think Idle got installed? Don't get paranoid, but this is
another thing that works for everyone but you <wink>.
