You could remove then. Here is code showing how to get at it

Dim i As Long
For i = 0 To Application.RecentFiles.Count
i = i + 1
If Application.RecentFiles(i).Name = "ABC.xls" Then
Application.RecentFiles(i).Delete
End If
Next i

But don't forget, some items in the list will be just the file name, some
will include the path

Using Excel 2002...

Is there any way to remove files from this list other than waiting for
them to be replaced over time?
