When you right click your source file, do you have an 'open with' python 
option?  Does that do the right thing?  If so, you're fighting your 
windows installation which is where you'll need to address this problem.

You might try downloading and installing the activestate python 
distribution (assuming you're not already there).  That will likely set 
your windows registry appropriately.
