Speaking of icons, do the bundled ico files have to be named py.ico and pyc.ico? (These names does not play along with tab-completion, making the user, me that is, tab twice "unnecessarily" to get to python.exe)

Good to know, but unfortunately, not very helpful in the end: Even if
I wanted to include these icons, I still had no clue whatsoever on how
to do that. What files do I need to deploy into what locations for this
to "work", and how do I determine whether or not to use the "Vista
approach" (assuming it is different from the "pre-Vista approach")?
