Hello,
I was able to run IDLE once or twice on my laptop. Then I downloaded
kiki and tried to run it but had forgotten to install wxPython. After
that, IDLE no longer opens although the command prompt does still work.
 I get the following error:
C:\Python25>python.exe Lib\idlelib\idle.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "Lib\idlelib\idle.py", line 21, in <module>

 rf_file = open(self.recent_files_path, 'w')
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Documents and
Settings\\skcheng\\.id
lerc\\recent-files.lst'
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times 2.5 and also 2.6.
 When I look at the folder .idlerc in windows explorer, I get an error
each time I click on it that access is denied, even though I am running
as administrator on my laptop. I have tried uninstalling Python and
deleting the .idlerc folder. I have also tried manually unchecking the
read-only property for the folder. I have a Lenovo T400 that is built
for Windows Vista, but am running Windows XP. Thank you.
