IDLE is a python script that's installed in Windows under
$PYTHON/Tools/idle/.  You could do "locate idle.py*" to see if it
turns up anywhere on your system.  When you locate it, you can
just launch it from there.  (Or maybe it's easily accessible via
typing "idle.py" on the command line?)

good luck-
