[Tutor] Getting Idle to work in Win7

[Alexander]

Hi Wayne. I'm interested in the issues your facing. Could you right click on
the IDLE shortcut in your start menu and tell me the details? Specifically
under:
*General*:* type of file, description, location, attributes*, (any *advanced
* attributes?);
*Shortcut*: tab, the *Target type*, *Target location *(if any),
*Target*, *Start
in* path, *Run *choice, any *Advanced *options?
*Compatability: *anything selected here?
*Security: *Are the permissions Full control?
*Details: **name, type, path, owner*
Looking forward to resolving the issue, Alexander.
