Thanks for the info Luke.
The correct syntax for the inf file is(All as one Line):
HKCR,Python.File,DefaultIcon,0x00000002,"\Program
Files\Python24\python.exe,0"; DefaultIcon = "\Program
Files\Python24\python.exe,0"
In the examples I was looking at I wasn't sure what the section after
the semi-colon was for, it may not be necessary. But I test this line
and it worked.
Now the only question is if it should be a different icon from the Shell
exe or if the console-less .pyw should be a different icon than the others.
