The IDLE bit is irrelevant its how the underlying Python
interpreter does things that matters.

You would need to set your PYTHONPATH environment variable
to include the directory containing your modules.

Do you know how to add values to a Windows Environment variable?
If not go to the Getting Started topic of my tutor for an example of
setting the PATH variable (You do the same but for PYTHONPATH,
the only difference is you might need to create it if it doesn't
already exist!)

Otherwise, Where are you having problems?
