Do you mean the Recent Document list on the Start menu or the MRU list on the File menu of the application?

The MRU list is stored in the registry. For Office 2000 they are stored under the following keys:
PowerPoint:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\PowerPoint\Recent File List

Access:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Access\Settings

Best regards

Don't delete the key! Delete the values that refer to the MRU list under those keys.
