An easier solution and safer then using the registry to remove individual projects is to rename the .sln file. In VS 2008, click on the project. You will be prompted that it can no longer be found and do you want to remove it from the list.

Further to Jon Skeet's answer, I have found that you also need to rename the items back to File1, File2 etc.

I deleted the first 3 registry entries, and VS2008 didn't show me any recent projects until I renamed File4 to File 1, File5 to File2 etc.

Open the registry, and get rid of the values from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\ProjectMRUList that you don't want.
