File Association for Python on XP

[W. eWatson]

Last night I thought I'd install Python on a friend's XP PC. I noticed 
he had declined to show extensions on any file. I thought the Control 
Panel might be the way to do it. I couldn't find anything that would do 
all files, doc, txt, py, etc.

I was able to do it, I think, from a right-click on a py file. However, 
when I then clicked on the file, it seemed like the IDE was not going to 
come up. Instead it looked like it was headed directly for interpreter. 
His computer is quite slow. We went on to something else. Python doesn't 
yet need that much attention.

So what should I have done, and how do I undo what I did?
