...looks like I erred on the side of brevity when penned those
instructions up, and then line-breaks and backslashes were discarded
when converted to Sphinx docs. Step 5 is GUI interactive, not command
line:
Create a desktop shortcut (or wherever):
r-click on desktop > New > Shortcut > Target:
c:\Python25\pythonw.exe > Name: Leo Editor > ok, ok
Select shortcut > Properties:
change Target to: C:Python25\pythonw.exe
"C:Python25\Lib\site-packages\leo\launchLeo.py"
set Start in to: D:\code (or My Documents or wherever you
want the default location to be)

This looks correct to me. Perhaps it is a Vista specific issue. This
page says to open a command prompt with elevated priviliges before
running ftype and assoc:

Python.exe (no w) starts a console window, and thus possibly some
messages, before starting the main .py app. I don't know how to grab
those console messages for later inspection. Pythonw.exe goes straight
to the windowed app.
Try activating via the association from the command prompt and see if
there are any errors:
C:\> Start "\path\to\some\foobar.leo"
And if that doesn't illuminate perhaps the ftype parameter from the prompt:
"C:\Program Files\Python26\python.exe" "C:\Program
Files\leo\Leo-4-6-2-final\launchLeo.py" "\path\to\myleodoc.leo"
