Thank you for all the replies, guys. :)

You all seem to be pointing at the same thing, and on my system, I show:

    C:\Users\Administrator>ftype python.file
    python.file="D:\Python26\python.exe" "%1" %*

and

    C:\Users\Administrator>assoc .py
    .py=Python.File

Which all seems to be correct.  I'm guessing this doesn't bode well...
