I searched all over the place for this and i finally found a way to edit the recent project items on the start page. Sadly it's a really manual method, if anyone knows of a better method please share.

credit for finding the location goes to whoever wrote this post: Clear your Visual Studio Recent projects list

Open your registry editor and go to:

VB.NET:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ProjectMRUList

I believe the version codes are
8.0 = VS 2005
9.0 = VS 2008
10.0 = VS 2010


If you want to add a item manually just add a new 'String Value' named "FileN", replace N with whatever number it's up to +1.

Set the Value Data to:
VB.NET:
YourFileLocationOf.vbproj|False

The true/false represents whether the item is pinned to the start page.
