On my Windows machine I have Python 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 all co-existing
fine (and I used to have 2.3 as well). These were all default installs to
C:\Python26 etc, and I didn't have to do anything funny to the registry.
I can try and remember to check the registry settings on my machine
if you like... but for now I can only suggest you might try uninstalling
Python 2.6, perhaps clean the registry, and then reinstall Python 2.6.

P.S.

I haven't tried putting Python 3.0 on my Windows machine (not that
I would bother, I would go straight to Python 3.1 now that it is out).
