I'm assuming Wayne is your username, but I don't know why you wouldn't have permission to access something in your own user directory. Can you try deleting that file in the windows explorer? You could try messing with the permissions, but I doubt you care about a recent file list that sounds several months old. You might even try removing (or renaming) the whole C:\Users\Wayne\idlerc folder. Idle should re-build anything it needs if it's not there when you start up. -- Jerry
