AddToRecentFiles does not work

Some Time ago I asked a question on:

Keep Microsoft Word from adding files opened programmatically to its History

The answer to this, adding AddToRecentFiles:=False when opening and saving the file fixed the issue at that time.
Recently I recognized that the issue appeared again. The lines

 worddoc = wordap.Documents.Open("C:\Tools\Temp\" & tempExportFileName & ".html", AddToRecentFiles:=False)

and

 worddoc.SaveAs("C:\Tools\Out\" & tempExportFileName & ".html", FileFormat:=Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatHTML, AddToRecentFiles:=False)

Didn't changed at all from the time when it worked to now.
What do I need to do so that the files are, again, not added to the history?

Update:
Thanks to the answer of Eugene Astafiev my word it self does no longer display the .html files in its MRU-list. But if I right click the icon of word in the taskbar, all the .html files are there.
So how to fix this issue as well?

Office application keep the MRU (Most Recently Used) list in the windows registry. You can edit it programmatically.

See How to clear the Most Recently Used list (MRU) list in Office programs for more information.
