How delete BIDS "Recent Projects" projects?

When I open BIDS it displays a list of "Recent Projects". How can I edit (or delete) items from this list? (Over time the list has acquired a lot of junk\test projects that I no longer need).

TIA,

It's a set of keys in the registry.

To delete the 'Recent Projects' list the key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ProjectMRUList

To delete 'Recent Files' list, the key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\FileMRUList

Where, of course, 8.0 corresponds to your version of Visual Studio.
