I think you'll find that it depends which MRU list you are thinking about there are some here (http://windowsxp.mvps.org/RegistryMRU.htm).

clear it with API, a call to "SHAddToRecentDocs_(2,0)" in shell32.dll with a "0" as ther last arg will clear recent docs, "SHAddToRecentDocs_(2,File)" to add a file (where "File" is the full path to the file.)

MSDN

to clear
result = DLL.CallFunction(_SystemFolder.."\\shell32.dll", "SHAddToRecentDocs", "2,0", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_INTEGER, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);

to add
sFile="path\\to\\my\\file.ext"
result = DLL.CallFunction(_SystemFolder.."\\shell32.dll", "SHAddToRecentDocs", "2,'"..sFile.."'", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_INTEGER, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);

add file to recent docs, the quotation is wrong, the correct way is

sFile=_SourceFolder.."\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\test.ext"
result = DLL.CallFunction(_SystemFolder.."\\shell32.dll", "SHAddToRecentDocs", "2,\""..sFile.."\"", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_INTEGER, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);
