Excellent strategy!! It worked.
I just examined the properties for each .idlerc, and noticed that the
troublesome one was created in Feb 4,2010. Probably with Python 2.5.2.
I don't know why or necessarily whether new installs shouldn't have
changed the folder or recreated it.
Thanks to all who followed this long perplexing thread.

Yikes. I gave the permissions for .idlerc above. The problem is with
recent-files.py.
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:

Can you open it in Notepad from the same command prompt?
ie. is it just idle that can't open it, or is it any program?
also, try deleting the whole folder (or just in case, move the folder
somewhere else), IDLE should create a new folder and config files,
hopefully with the correct permission.
