This is one of the annoying ambiguities of Windows.
The way it finds the executable for  executables(exe, bat cmd etc) is 
different to how it finds the executable for associations.

In the former case it uses PATH, in the latter it relies on the file 
association set in the file properties.

When you install a new Python it  tends to set itself as
the default interpreter for .py files.

Annoying,
