I think the question about the file association is one you have to answer 
for yourself. When you install Python it associates .pyw with pythonw and 
.py with python. If something on your system has changed this the best 
thing you can do is to change it back.

Try typing the following commands and then fixing any differences by typing 
the expected output as the command parameter 
(e.g. "assoc .py=Python.File"):

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

C:\>assoc .pyw
.pyw=Python.NoConFile

C:\>ftype Python.file
Python.file="C:\Python26\python.exe" "%1" %*

C:\>ftype Python.NoConFile
Python.NoConFile="C:\Python26\pythonw.exe" "%1" %*
