Get Microsoft's TweakUI powertoy for Windows XP. The following options
might satisfy your wants:
Explorer:
Clear document history on exit: enable
(exit = logoff)
Common Dialogs:
Enable auto-complete: disable
Remember previously-used filenames: disable

Right-click on the Taskbar, Properties, (Start Menu) Customize, Advanced,
uncheck 'list my most recently opened documents', and click Clear List.

Sorry, this doesn't exactly do what you asked for. This removes the 'Recent
Documents' item from your Start Menu, but doesn't actually stop the
shortcuts from being added to the My Recent Documents folder.

Rightclick Start, Properties. Click Customize and clear the checkbox that
says "List my most recently opened documents."

Copy&Paste what is between the 'Cut here' lines into Notepad,
save as "NoRecent.reg" (including quotes-marks) and merge the
resulting .reg-file with your registry. Note: watch the
linebreaks, from '[' to ']' is one line.
------------------------ Cut here ---------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoRecentDocsHistory"=hex:01,00,00,00
"NoRecentDocsMenu"=hex:01,00,00,00
------------------------ Cut here ---------------------------
The first item will stop the creation of the recent-shortcuts, so
will do what you ask for.
The second item, like mentioned in other posts, will make the now
unused start-menu-item used to show the shortcuts not exist.

Wrong. 'worker' can do it[*1] as i showed in my post. Try what i
posted if you are interested. Re-login after merging the
reg-entry for it to take effect.
[*1] the IT is not present here because you haven't fixed the
broken news-client from ms you are using.
And the below was posted by several others already.
