That all looks good.

That sounds like the root of the problem, then.  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.
