This might help further (taken from a properly configured
machine):

c:\>assoc .pyc
.pyc=Python.CompiledFile

c:\>ftype Python.CompiledFile
Python.CompiledFile="C:\a\python24\python.exe" "%1" %*

c:\>assoc .pyw
.pyw=Python.NoConFile

c:\>ftype Python.NoConFile
Python.NoConFile="C:\a\python24\pythonw.exe" "%1" %*


Note "pythonw" for ".pyw" files, and just "python" for
".pyc" files.  If you want .pyc files NOT to open up
the DOS box, you need to change the association to
what the .pyw files use, which is not the default and
possibly will not always do what you want.
