	What happens if you specify

	"C:\Python32\pythonw.exe" "C:\....\idle.pyw" "$...."

	I seem to recall that Windows has problems passing command line
arguments when it goes through two layers of invocation (ie: your file
is an argument to idle.pyw, the file associations make idle.pyw an
argument to some other program instead.
