Is there a way to programatically clear XP recently opened documents list?

Simply delete the shortcuts in the Recent Documents folder. A bat file
running in the Startup folder will do that.

If not, you can set Recent Documents not to display on Start Menu and
delete from desktops any shortcut to this record. TweakUI may be the
simplest method.

Or set the batch file to run on the shutdown script.
