REMEMBER!
This is for Python 3.9 (64-bit) on Windows
If you want to fix same problem for another version, change 14th and 17th lines with following

  1. 14th line - "MUIVerb"="Edit with IDLE <Your Python version> (<Python type (64 or 32)>-bit)"
  2. 17th line - @="\"<pythonw.exe path>\" -m idlelib \"%1\" %*"

and in 13th and 16th lines edit39 with following:

  • edit<major version of your python without dot in middle like for |3.5|==>|35|>
