I don't know XEmacs, but you can try these: + check the content of the *messages* buffer: does it show any related error? + check the many variables determining recent-files's functionality: C-h v recent RET + check this init function: C-h f recent-files-initialize RET (I have no such function in gnu emacs 22, but I would vote that this should be removed from your init.el) Br, P
