above should work IF assoc .py => .py=Python.File

If assoc .py => .py=someOtherName
check ftype someOtherName and see if the %* is left off.

>Python.File=D:\Python22\python.exe "%*"
above should fail to work

Maybe you have a different association via .py -- e.g., I don't have the dotted name:

[10:28] C:\pywk\clp>assoc .py
.py=Pythonfile

[10:28] C:\pywk\clp>ftype Pythonfile
Pythonfile=d:\python22\python.exe "%1" %*
