Open the hidden folder "recent documents" and delete the shortcuts.

Use Folder Options, View to show hidden folders.

the folder itself is located at
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Recent Documents

can you clear some but not all of the recent documents list? in prior windows version you could hold ctrl while you clicked whatever you wanted to clear and then hit delete once for all the highlighted documents. that does not appear to work in xphome, so for each document you want to delete (unless you want to delete them all), you have to hit start - recent - highlight - delete, for EACH ONE. what a pain. tell me there is another way, please!!!!
