I installed Python 2.6 a few days ago and tried to launch the Python 
IDLE GUI application. Nothing happened. 

I've read a couple issues about previous versions of Python IDLE not 
working on Windows Vista. and they recommended deleting the .idlerc 
folder in the user directory as well as disabling the UAC (User Account 
Control)

I've done both of these, but i still can't manage to get IDLE to run, 
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you confirm that you used a "for me" installation, rather than a
"for all" installation?

If so, this is a duplicate of issue4018.
