11. Regarding installed software on your machine, how did you clean your
machine before installing Python(x,y)  (multiple answers are possible):

b. you uninstalled any previous Python distribution (including the
official .msi)
d. you cleaned the environment variables by removing all deprecated
entries

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Install for only this user with defaoult settings
2.Try to open ipconfig from a command prompt.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should list the options of Ipconfig, instead it dosn't found Ipconfig.

Please provide any additional information below.
The reason is that a new enviroment variable pathext is added under the current 
user enviroment varialbes, with .py and .pyw extensions into it.
It seems that this entry overrides the one under system enviroment variales,
so windows cannot find any of the .exe, .com etc files under the path.
THe solution should be probably to add the two extensions under the system 
variable, or copy the other extensions from system to user.

Otherwise, thanks for this usefull phyton distribution.
