Files opened from explorer, files opened from within the particular application. Many files show up in jump list and in the Start menu's "Recent" files. Many do not, no matter how many times I close and open them. They aren't hidden. They all belong to the same user. They are ordinary docx or pdf files.

    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    \Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file9
    ...

    you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

    or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.
