I don't know off-hand where that's set in the registry, but you should be able to poke around in folder settings to find it (but, thank you very much Microsoft, the exact menu path has changed a number of times between Win2K and Win8). On WinXP, if I have my test-box set up correctly, it's View, Folder Options, File Types, select the one for .py, Advanced, select "open", Edit. That'll tell you that the application used is something like: "C:\Python27\python.exe" "%1" %* The %* should mean that arguments get carried through; if that's missing, you won't get any args. I may have some details wrong, and it's likely to be a little different on Win7, but poke around and look for a missing %*. Or, better still, make sure you have the py.exe launcher; then you can have Python scripts request a specific interpreter using a PEP 397 compliant shebang, which will also work nicely on Unix systems.
