	Okay -- I must have the weird version then. It was installed about
three months ago on a new Win7 laptop (I still have to activate the
pre-paid wireless card for it)

	It's the only ActiveState installed Python (2.7) on which /I've/
ever seen a short cut for IDLE (in the Start/All Programs menu), and the
target appears editable and points to the .bat file.

	Even if not editable, it shouldn't be difficult to create a new
shortcut (that option hasn't been removed in Win7, has it?) from scratch
filling in the proper data.
