Mike,

What happens if you do [Windows] + R (ie Start > Run), enter "python"
and click OK?

If it comes up with a Python window, what happens if you type this:

import sys
print(sys.executable)

You can do all this in one step if you're feeling adventurous:

Start > Run > python -i -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)"
