Odd problem, but when trying to run python programs under windows none of the programs seemed to receive any of the input arguments. Searching the web I found a lot of advanced solutions to this (involving our beloved registry), but the answer turned out to be rather simple. When I finally found it of course.
So here goes:
- Under Explorer go to Tools -> Folder Options.
- Select the 'File Types' tab.
- Find PY and click 'Advanced'.
- Edit the open action and enter: "D:\Python26\python.exe" "%1" %*
- Done!
Of course if you happen to have installed python.exe somewhere else then change to that.
No registry editing, no downloading programs to fix this. Simple solution.
