Here's a related superuser question: 

    http://superuser.com/q/304093

The message box shown in the older answer is what I get:

    http://i.stack.imgur.com/bqXBs.png

The problem is only with Explorer. I can execute a symbolic link to an EXE via 
cmd, subprocess.Popen, os.startfile (ShellExecute), and so on. Also, Explorer 
only does this for the executable file types that I mentioned. It has no 
problem opening symbolic links to .py files; the difference is the open command 
line for a Python.File includes a program to run:

    C:\>ftype Python.File
    Python.File="C:\Windows\py.exe" "%1" %*

It works if I change the shell\open\command for the exefile type to run via cmd 
/c. But that's just silly.
