i was just tinkering with it actually. ;-)
In your command prompt just do
Pythonwin.exe /run "C:\Python24\file\PyFiles\clear.py"

or if you hate doing that then just create a batch  script (.bat) as such-

@echo off
start "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\Pythonwin.exe /run
"C:\Python24\file\PyFiles\clear.py" "

see the pythonwin reference manual for more option ;)
