unable to open IDLE for Python3.50rc1 on windows10 64bit AMD

[Nicky Mac]

what a horrible environment windows is to support anything!
(I was a UNIX professional).
seems the user profile PATH is a registry entry, and was not updated when I
deinstalled Python2.7
still haven't  figured out how to change it - I will NOT attempy a regedit.

season's greetings
