Take a look at the properties of the shortcut.  It just lists the 
demo.py file, no Python executable.  So Windows just finds whatever 
executable is associated with *.pyw files in the registry and uses that. 
  So to have it do something different you can either change that 
association, or edit the shortcut to run a specific Python executable.
