Delete office MRU via group policy or script.

So I have a interesting problem in front of me.

I have a range of computers that need their office most recently used documents deleted (the network drive is moving and the client doesn't want links to old file during the transition.

Their network has office 2003, 2007, and 2010 on it running on a combo of windows xp and windows 7 (so no powershell). From what I can tell this info is stored in the registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Office/"version"/"application"/"user mru or some other name"/File MRU with keys that are called Item # with values that all start with [F00000000]

I was wondering before I set out on a massive vbscript/ntscript writing task if anyone has a script I can push to delete these from the client. Or maybe you guys know of an easier way to accomplish this task.

I'm a Unix guy, so I could use the help.

Well this became much easier. It turns out the client really only had office 2010. So it was just a series of registry keys to delete with a batch file. No biggie.

Thanks anyways.
