First win+R, enter regedit to enter the registry editor, find HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations.py, if there is no .py folder, create a new one, and create a new item according to the structure shown in the figure (I created a new one here, and there was no . py item)

.py\shell\Edit with IDLE\command

Create the following image:

 

3. Set Edit with IDLEthe key values ​​of shell and key to Edit with IDLE, and set the key value of command to the installation path of python and idle

4. Bind the execution program for this entry

Change the default value in the newly created item, ie HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.py\shell\Edit with IDLE\command, and modify it to the two paths found earlier:

I am here for anaconda:

C:\Users\86157\anaconda3\pythonw.exe "C:\Users\86157\anaconda3\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw" -e "%1"

Or locally installed python environment:

"D:\Python37\pythonw.exe" "D:\Python37\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw" -e "%1"

If the directory where Python is installed is different, modify it accordingly

After completing the above operations, right-click the .py file, you can see the Edit with IDLE option, and it can be opened successfully.
