I'm also not sure how IDLE works on Windows in this regard. Comments?

The IDLE and Interpreter shortcuts are not 'normal'. On the Shortcut tab
of the Properties dialog, the Target location: field is blank and the
Target: field is a grayed-out, uneditable and useless 'Python 3.1.2'.
And this is as admin user.
By comparison, a Windows Media Player shortcut says T location: Windows
Media Player (read-only, should be called Target name:). Target: has
"C:path/to/WMP/wmplayer.exe" /prefetch 1 in an editable box. So whatever
/prefetch 1 means, I could change it.
The Python shortcuts seems possibly buggy to me, but the point is that
command line args are currently useless without informing users how to
create a proper, editable shortcut where one could use them.
I do not care at the moment because I always want a shell window and can
easily open a edit window. The only reason not to open a shell that I
can see is if one is editing non-Python files.
