  As an alternative you might consider adding a short-cut to IDLE 
  to the  Send To  directory if that option is still available
  under windows 7 .... 

  That would seem  almost  as handy 
  only moving the mouse one more time
  to roll out the  Send To  target menu  
  before the final click to launch ....
