Thats the ticket.  Very nice.  The shortcut was hidden in a menu under a
button labeled Start  :(  Here's the details...

twisted/scripts/twistd.py is a private implementation module, it is not
intended to be invoked directly.  It is only used when you use twistd on
POSIX.

twisted/scripts/_twistw.py is also a private implementation module.  It is
only used when you use twistd on Windows.

bin/twistd is the executable program intended to be invoked.  I'm not sure
how the latest Windows installer works.  It used to provide a command shell
(cmd.exe with the environment configured to make working with Twisted
easier) from which you could run "twistd" without specifying the full
location.  This may still be the case.

In any case, you definitely don't want to run anything in twisted/scripts/
manually.
