	Maybe I missed it, but when I looked at that on my Win7 laptop, I
only saw a way to define a default for "open" action -- which, for .py
and .pyw files, should be python.exe and pythonw.exe, respectively;
otherwise you can't run them via double-click.

	What I did NOT find was a way to define OTHER actions for the
<right-click> menu... IE; no way to define an "edit with xxx", or a
"print" operation.
