Well if I was still a windows administrator and you would be one of my 
users, I would first make sure that your profile or windows installation 
is not pooped as it definitively smells like that.

After being reassured that this is not the case I would then search the 
interwebs for something like "extending right click context menu".

Probably hitting something like this:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/how-can-i-customize-right-click-mouse-context-menu/5ea7104f-2213-41b9-9933-83f25da086d1

And after that searching where this 'idle' you speak of is actually 
located, probably finding something like this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/118260/how-to-start-idle-python-editor-without-using-the-shortcut-on-windows-vista

Then it rest me to combine them both, after promising myself not to 
install one version of a particular program 'for all users' and then 
'updating' for 'only me' as this can screw up the default settings quite 
badly.

But hey I haven't been a win admin since I switched over to FreeBSD 
years and years ago. I find it immensely reassuring that the problems I 
encounter on my systems are all my fault, well actually that is just the 
same as with windows, just less obvious there.

Luckily I am no longer an administrator either as I couldn't stand it 
anymore when users spill their frustrations, although perfectly 
understandable, unto those who are actually willing to help.

Something to do with attitude or so, speaking if which, I do apologize 
for my own attitude, but given the choice of just ignoring you or lacing 
my post with patronization I though that the latter one was the least 
bad of them two.
