Actually I did do exactly what Martin requested, but then somehow I failed to include the output in my message, which doesn't really make sense as a result. How embarrassing! I apologize. I thought I had included something like the following:
C:\Documents and Settings\jon\Desktop>python Lib\idlelib\idle.py
python: can't open file 'Lib\idlelib\idle.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Same response with forward or back slashes in the argument. However, if I give python the full path (either with forward or back slashes), then it successfully launches IDLE:
C:\Documents and Settings\jon\Desktop>python c:/python25/Lib/idlelib/
idle.py
Now my remark about c:\Python25 being the first item in the path should make more sense than it did in the message as I sent it!
Again, this is all with 2.5.4, the installation that DOES launch IDLE when I click the desktop icon. I'll try later today with 2.6.5.
