Hi Debra,

So make the target: C:\Python26\pythonw.exe C:\Python26\xxx.pyw
(notice the space in between). By the way, it is not a good idea to put your own scripts in C:\Python26 because you could lose them when you upgrade your Python installation.
And I would suggest to move the shortcut that you created on the desktop to a different folder afterwards rather than deleting it. That saves you from having to recreate it later if you reorganised your taskbar.
