To associate a file type, right click on it and select "open with" from the menu. From the dialog box that opens, browse to where the pythonw.exe program is and select it then select "ok". Once associated, anytime you click on a .pyw file, it will be opened by pythonw.exe without you having to do anything else.
gotcha...i never knew that it (associated) was referred as such..
