IDLE is a choice on the Start menu (All Programs). Pressing it does 
nothing. I see nothing that suggests it's open.

The IDLE entry is pointing at c:\Python27\ (shortcut)

A post above yours suggests IDLE is a script, and somehow needs a 
"boost" to use it. An exe file, apparently.  Beats the heck out of me.
