I don't think windows can autoclear them but you can write a small batch
file then run it via scheduled tasks. If there is no option to schedule on
exit you could schedule it to run on bootup giving the same result, no
recent docs on starting windows.

Something like [del x:\Documents and Settings\username\Recent\*.*] (not
including the square brackets) in a batch file should be close to what you
want. There might be a more elegant way someone else knows.
