If you use the new Start Menu there's an option in the properties called "list my most recently opened documents" which you can turn off. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the classic Start Menu.

If it's not in the available options then the only way to do it would be a possible registry tweak. If you find what it is let me know! 😉

Powertoys v2.00.10, Tweak UI for WinXP, "Explorer", uncheck "show my documents on classic start menu"

or,

Go to Start - Run...

and then type "gpedit.msc" and enter

now go to User Configuration - Administarative Templates - Start Menu and Taskbar

now double click "Do not keep history of recently opened documents" and click on "Enabled" click OK
