According to the theory

RUN RD /S &Path

it should work but it doesn't.. (Don't know why)
According with Jose Luis Santana (not copyrighted yet :))) you can use 2 APIs:
1) MoveFile (I don't have the sample of this function on hand) to move the directory to another folder like Recent Documents.
2) Empty Recent Documents Folder:

DECLARE LONG SHAddToRecentDocs IN "Shell32";
  LONG lFlags,;
  LONG lPv
=SHAddToRecentDocs (0, 0)

It's a tricky (unclean) way to do it...but it works.
