You can delete the entries in the registry from c#.

The key would be something like this: 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\File MRU

For registry manipulation you can find lots of articles how to do that from C#.

You will have to use automation to do that. There are quite a few steps you have to take to get programming :

http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/316384

  • Add a reference to Microsoft Word Object Library.

To do this, follow these steps : On the Project menu, click Add Reference. On the COM tab, locate Microsoft Word Object Library, and then click Select.

  • now you can get started :

with code like

object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
object oEndOfDoc = "\\endofdoc"; /* \endofdoc is a predefined bookmark */ 

//Start Word and create a new document.
Word._Application oWord;
Word._Document oDoc;
oWord = new Word.Application();

oWord is the application object as in the VBA application. The recent file list and everything should be there.
