Is there a file called python3105.exe in the folder 
C:/Users/leifs/anaconda3?

That filename looks wrong to me because the file is usually called 
python.exe.

This page:

https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/integration/python-path/

suggests to me that the path is probably more like 
C:\Users\leifs\anaconda3\python.exe (or, if you prefer, 
C:/Users/leifs/anaconda3/python.exe).
