Ah, didn't think of that. Let me try changing it to %* without quotes.

C:\python24\user>u a b c
args ['C:\\python24\\user\\u.py', 'a', 'b', 'c']

Hey, it works like it should. I only quoted it because that's
the way I found it in the registry (the %1 is still in quotes).

Thanks for the tip. Now I don't have to change any programs.

I forgot to mention that there's also a registry entry for
Python.CompiledFile. It also is missing the %* and has the invalid
-n -e flags.
