It worked for me. I have Python 2.5 installed, so I did an install of
Python 2.6a1 "for all users", but I deselected the "register
extensions" option (which makes this the default Python).
I then ran idle using
C:\Apps\Python26\python C:\Apps\Python26\Lib\idlelib\idle.py
This worked fine for me.

This is my sys.path:
>C:\Apps\Python26\python
Python 2.6a1 (r26a1:61155, Mar 1 2008, 12:11:56) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', 'C:\\Apps\\Python26\\python26.zip', 'C:\\Apps\\Python26\\DLLs',
'C:\\Apps\\Python26\\lib', 'C:\\Apps\\Python26\\lib\\plat-win',
'C:\\Apps\\Python26\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Apps\\Python26',
'C:\\Apps\\Python26\\lib\\site-packages']
I don't see why "for this user only" should work any differently. No,
I just tried it and it's OK as well. I can't see any reason why
"register extensions" sould cause you a problem either.
Can I suggest you uninstall and reinstall and see if that helps? Keep
a log of what you didn, and if it's still a problem let me know and
I'll see what I can do.
Paul.
PS What version of Windows are you on? I'm using XP Home (32 bit). If
you're using 64-bit, I can't help, I'm afraid...
