Check the file idle.icns ni C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\Python\Lib\idlelib\Icons\idle.icns Sometimes cleaning programs remove it. This may be helpful.
Pogopogo is correct, the idle.icns had been removed by my reg cleaner. Very helpful indeed Pogopogo, I still don't have PyFu but PyConsole is back.
PhotoComix the restore points have not really helped in this instance. Sadly I am Pyfu-less. A much appreciated suggestion though. Thankyou.
ofnuts I have checked the tree and it all looks fine, it has been suggested that PyWin may have disrupted the registry? Not sure how, but I will look into it. Everything was fine and all Python related plug-ins were functioning, after a reboot there was no trace of pyfu nor plugins in the menus.
It certainly is a mystery. The last plugin I installed before PyFu died was Larger Previews. I don't think laprev caused it though, it ran just fine. Re-installed GIMP and PYTHON and PyGTK, did the paths but no luck. Maybe in the new year I will have to install my backup hard drive and see what happens. A lot of software to install though.
Thankyou for your efforts and I will post any advancements. Merry Cristmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
