Use the start menu to start IDLE once. Then pin it to your taskbar.
If you do not have STart/ all programs / Python / IDLE, then your 
installation is bad.

As for the right click problem, you probably have something screwy in 
the registry. The python installer (or uninstaller) will not fix it (my 
experience on my old xp machine). You will have to do so manually.
