Message 85672 - Python tracker

The incorrect settings have been saved in your %USERPROFILE%\.idlerc 
directory. Try deleting the idle-extensions.cfg there.

BTW, "pythonw.exe" is not IDLE. It's a plain python interpreter without 
a console. When used with no argument it can only exit quickly...

To see the IDLE error messages, I often type this in a console window:
c:\python30\python.exe -m idlelib.idle
