You could download cr@pcleaner, that would clear all the junk off your computer.

Have you tried right clicking and then delete. Or go to the My Recent Documents folder and remove them from there.

What version of Windows are you running
If you are running XP, do you have this configured as "Start Menu" or "Classic Start Menu"

To determine this, right click on the Start button and select properties and then select Start Menu tab.

If you are running as "Start Menu" then follow these steps

From the Start Menu tab, select Customise

Select Advanced Tab

At bottom you will see Clear List, this will clear the recent documents


If you are running as "Classic Start Menu"


Select the Customise button

Select Clear



Note when you select either of these buttons to clear it will not only clear the recent documents, but also internet history urls (ie what urls you entered in IE)

Navigate to the My Recent Document folder using Windoze Explore and delete from the folder.

Move your mouse over the start command, and then click the right mouse button, do NOT click using left mouse button on the Start command and then follow steps.

Alternatively follow what Expresso has said, maybe easier for you
