MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1

I've been using 3.x for a long time, but the other day I thought it
would also be good to have the latest version of 2.x available. So I
downloaded it and installed it.

I have some useful (to me) scripts that I use frequently, that I call
with Windows shortcut keys. They used to open in a nice cmd.exe window
I'd configured to my liking. Now I find that they open in the default
white on black tiny window, C:\Python27\python.exe, which tries to run
the 3.x scripts in 2.7. How did that change come about, and how can I
correct it?

FWIW, the path in System Variables is

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program
Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows
Live;C:\Python32\;C:\Python31\;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program
Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL
Server\100\Tools\Binn\;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\100\Tools\Binn\;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL

Web Pages\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin;C:\Program

Thanks,
