See https://bugs.python.org/issue25450

The 3.5 Python and IDLE ICONS do not specify a start directory, so 
python start in c:\windows\system32 (even for a 64 bit install -- 
whether this is correct or a bug, I do not know).  The solution is to 
add one.  On Win 7, Start Menu, Python 3.5, right click, Properties, 
Shortcut, Start In: add the path to the executable (without 
python(w).exe at the end), which is in the Target line.  BE CAREFUL TO 
NOT INADVERTENTLY EDIT/DELETE THE TARGET.

For Win 10, hides the property dialogs: no Start Menu, only a deformed 
'All apps' list with entries that are NOT icons.  Find Python35, 
Python/IDLE. Either click to run or right click, Pin to Taskbar.  Either 
way, right click on the taskbar icon, right click again, select 
Properties, continue as above.

Fix two for a possible problem.  Go to 
<homedir>/.idlerc/recent-files.lst.  Edit and delete any bad entries.  I 
cannot tell from the report here or tracker if this is needed.  At 
worst, delete the file.

I edited the file recent-files.lst with my favorite
editor. I saw a strange D:\jm\café.py, I corrected
it: café.py.
Now I have problems...
