To clear the Recent Documents history list in your Word 2007:

1. Open regedit by clicking START->RUN ->and typing “regedit” then clicking “OK”
2. In regedit, navigate to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\File MRU
3. Delete some or all of the entries to clear out what you need cleared out.
4. Close regedit

That’s it, you’re done.

To disable Recent Documents history altogether:

1. Go to Start -> Run -> type regedit and enter
2. Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\ Explorer
3. Create a DWORD value with the key NoRecentDocsHistory and set the value to 1

That’s it, you’re done!
