Hi Mark!

I have built 211.1.
I figured out, that the problem is caused by the DWORD called "bars" in 
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python 2.6\Python for 
Win32\ToolbarDefault-Summary". The default value of "bars" is 9 (decimal).

Using "Tools --> Browse Path" in PythonWin changes the value to 10 
(decimal) and PythonWin won't start up. Setting the value back to 9 .. 
and everything works fine again. BUT ... the value is re-created every 
time.

cheers,
Matthias
