test tk script:
 from tkinter import *
 root = Tk()
 w = Label(root, text='Hello World!')
 w.pack()
 root.mainloop()

i create a *.lnk to this script, target:
C:\run\Python\python.exe "C:\test\helloworld.py"
opens a command window

target:
C:\run\Python\pythonw.exe "C:\test\helloworld.py"
does not open a command window.

but if i take launchLeo.py instead it alays opens a command window.
But that window has no contents if opened with pythonw.

cool, why is this missing in the latest doc?

in this i would replace ...
'4. [optional]:'
... with ...
'4. [optional] to be able to import leo from python:'

'5.'
... with ...
'5. [optional] to be able to start Leo using a shortcut:'

'6.'
... with ...
'6. [optional] to be able to open *.leo files by doubleclicking them:'

'7. [optional]'
... with ...
'7. [optional] to be able to start leo by typing "leo" in a
commandline':

and i would add:
'8. [optional] to give *.leo files the leo icon: create/add registry
entries
(take what you want for LeoFile but the second key must match):
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.leo
  @="LeoFile"
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LeoFile\DefaultIcon
  @="path\to\Leo\leo\Icons\LeoApp.ico,0"


maybe some batch expert adds a folder 'config helper batches'
and adds some smart batches there for each of these optional points 4
to 8
containing (active)/(deactive) in their filenames and renaming
themselves
when clicked, but in general this seems like a hack replacing a valid
installer.
