Clear recent documents
(OP)
Is there a way to clear the recent documents in SolidWorks? When we test potential new employees in SolidWorks we would like to remove the recent files so they do not have easy access to prior testers work.

Moving or deleting the prior files will do the same.

Where S-1-5-21-XXXX is your User's Security Identifier (SID).
I would suggest to just do a search over the registry for Recent File List. Once found remove all sub nodes (e.g File0, File1, ...). Make sure you did it when SolidWorks is closed otherwise it will be overwritten.
