Not really a Python question, but if you specify your OS we can 
probably help better.

Assuming you mean Windows, just open Explorer, find the File Types
tab on the Folder Options submenu, and create New Type or Edit
the existing type.  For more information, Google can help you,
or you can look at how the Windows installer already set up 
.py and .pyw files in that File Type list, and copy that.
