What search are you using?

From within the File|Open dialog or windows search?

Are these shortcuts that you've created or that are automatically created when
you open a windows file that supports Most Recently Used.

I'm not sure that I can help -- I haven't been bothered by these enough to look
for a different way of searching. But maybe someone else can chime in with the
added information.

After my searches are finished (windows start button searches), I'll look at the
results in the Detail view and sort by the size of the file. If I'm looking for
..xls files, I know I can ignore the files with sizes of 1k.

Is this a shortcut showing up on the desktop when that user saves a file?

If yes...

Jim Rech posted this awhile ago:

Jim's guess was that windows was confused about where the entry in the windows
registry for Recent (Recently used files) was pointing at the desktop.

9.0 represents the version of excel.

9.0 xl2k
10.0 xl2002
11.0 xl2003

Why does microsoft create a shortcut everytime I save a change to an existing
document. When I search for a document ,I would like to see the document
only. I don't want to see shortcuts for everytime I saved the document.
