Running a Python program thru a Windows shortcut

[Kevin Altis]

This is the right answer, stated succinctly. The only thing I would add is
that if you don't want a console window to appear, either use pythonw.exe
instead of python.exe or rename your script to dfc.pyw instead of dfc.py.
Just ignore Mr. Roth's post, there is no need to use a batch file.

command line:
C:\python22\python.exe c:\path\to\dfc.py dfcCfgBackup

remember, in python, sys.argv is a tuple containing args passed in.

Depending on your windows version, you MAY have to put python in
double-quotes,
like so:
"C:\python22\python.exe" c:\path\to\dfc.py dfcCfgBackup
