For example, if I have Excel installed and it appears in the start menu, when I hover my mouse on it the most recently used documents are displayed on the right.
They also appear when I right click the icon of an open application in the taskbar.
Where is this list of documents stored for all the applications? How can I clear it for a particular application?
Answer
Answer in this thread, I don't understand the second step "PInvoke", maybe someone could explain.

Now this is the solution for my question:
I Cleaned the values under the Registry Keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist{CEBFF5CD-ACE2-4F4F-9178-9926F41749EA}\Count
andHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist{F4E57C4B-2036-45F0-A9AB-443BCFE33D9F}\Count
Then I executed the following PInvoke to refresh the cache of the Explorer.exe:
C#:
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
[DllImport("shell32.dll")]
static extern void SHChangeNotify(int wEventId, int uFlags, IntPtr dwItem1, IntPtr wItem2);
private const int SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED = 0x08000000;
private const int SHCNF_IDLIST = 0x0000;
private void ClearCache() {
SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED, SHCNF_IDLIST, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero);
}
