I have lost the convenient feature that to edit a .py file I could

The workaround is not hard, but it wouild be nice to get this feature
back.
It happened when I was mungeing around and downloaded Python 2.3.3 in
addition to Python 2.71, and got into trojuble uintil I discovered
that I was involuntarily RUNNING the older version. So I cleaned it
out, but still I have this aftermath.
Is there a Windows guru out there who can tell be how to add to the
right-click menu clicking on myfile.py?
In Window98, one could get from Explorer Window to a file-associations
dialog/window/tool that would let you change/add 'open', 'open with x',
'run', for a particular file type without using the registry editor,
which is slightly dangerous. I have forgotten how to find it in xp, and
no idea in w7. I would look in windows help and or control panel.
