First do you actually get a new blank window popping up?
If so, you should find a Run menu item on the new Window.

If you don't can you send us a list of what menus are visible.
Also confirm whgich version of Python and IDLE are running 
- its displayed in the IDLE startup message.

You lost me. What link with WSH?
Python can access WSH objects but you need the Windows extensions 
installed (They come as standard on the ActiveState version of python 
or as part of the winall package for the 'official Python')
