That would be fairly easy to implement. I suppose pythonw.exe wouldn't
need the same treatment, as people won't invoke it manually.
I guess that option wouldn't be available to non-admin users, though.

Same for me. That's why I like Python being installed in the root
directory (also a common complaint - why doesn't it install into
the Programs Files folder?)
