[Tutor] Trouble installing Python on Win7 (not a valid Win 32 app)

In py land I only have py, pyc, pyw, and pyo. I've now done py and pyc 
as default. Still have the same Win32 app problem.
What am I supposed to do with python.exe? It will open a DOS window with 
a command >>> prompt. I can use the prompt to do arithmetic.

Tried idle.bat moments ago. Still get Win32 app problem msg on py files.
