Fine... so open a directory window, follow
Tools/Folder Options/File Types
Scroll down to PYW, click [Advanced]
You should get an "Edit File Type" dialog. Mine shows just one
action "open", yours probably has "open" and "edit". Select "edit" and
then click [Edit] button. See what it says for the application to be
used.
Do the same on the Win7 machine -- it probably doesn't have "edit"
as an action, so you'll be picking the [New] button. Define the new
action to look like the action on the laptop (use the correct path to
the python executable, and maybe to IDLE).
Heck, check what those actions show for PY files too... The only
difference between PY and PYW should be the application used in the
"open" action.
PY => .../python.exe
PYW => .../pythonw.exe
Also make sure that the "open" action is the defined default (select
the action, and click the default button); when there are more than one
action, the default will be in bold.
