As you noticed in your next mesasge, you should activate recentf only after setting this variable. Alternatively, you can call (recentf-cleanup) after you set the variable. Sorry I didn't mention it, when testing I called recentf-cleanup without even thinking about it. For the record, I also looked at the variable recentf-exclude description and I see that you can also add predicates to it, hence my suggestion for "only org and tex files" could be very much simplified (at least de-obfuscated) by writing a small lisp function. -- Nico.
