Noticed I missed a bit of the path but it didn't matter.
Changed the path to C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.py and got another 
error.

C:\Users\Joakim>"C:\Python25\python.exe" "C:\Python25
\Lib\idlelib\idle.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.py", line 21, in <module>

  File "C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 1404, in main
    shell = flist.open_shell()
  File "C:\Python25\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 275, in open_shell
    self.pyshell = PyShell(self)

es_list
    rf_file = open(self.recent_files_path, 'w')
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission 
denied: 'C:\\Users\\Joakim\\.idlerc\\recent-files
.lst'

There should be a edit button somewhere but I couldn't find it, so I 
had to post a new entry.
