How to remove projects/ solutions from Recent Projects window in Visual Studio 2005

Question

In the top left corned of the Visual Studio Start Page there is a Recent Projects section that lists as standard 10 last opened Project. I am aware that this number can be changed using Tools->Options->Environment->General and then modifying number in Recent Files section

But my question is how could I remove some projects from that recent list?
