How to open Python?

[bensan]

I have a search box in the bottom left of my Windows 10 task bar. If I type "run" it will bring up a dialog where I can enter a command to run. I think you are searching for "python /C:/PythonProjects/TextEditor5.py".

When you do open the run dialog, you'll need to remove the leading "/" in your path. There is no "/C:PythonProjects...", but there may be a "C:PythonProjects..."

Thanks @deanhystad. OK, Ive removed the leading / & it makes no difference to my early scripts but the script @Yoriz provided it brings up a command window with another box that has a print button. Whatever I write into that box it only prints. I am getting so tired of these prompt windows. The first & simple text editor that I followed the tutorial said that a window should show with the basic outline of the program & thats what Im hoping to get.

If I go through the "run" procedure I get the same result as if I enter python C:/PythonProjects/TextEditor5.py into the search box.
