is there a way to move or make a copy of the most recent documents icon on the desktop?

You can make a shortcut to the My Recent Documents folder.
Go To C:\Documents and Settings\[your user profile name]\My Recent Documents.
If you do not see that folder, a change needs to first be made in Folder Options (click the Tools menu, select Folder Options, click the View tab, put a dot in front of 'Show Hidden Files and Folders, and then click Apply and OK).
Once you find the My Recent Documents folder, right click on it and select Create Shortcut. Then Cut & Paste the new shortcut to your Desktop.
The only draw-back is that this folder will contain ALL recent document shortcuts and will not include a shortcut to the My Pictures or My Documents folders.
You would have to add them manually by creating additional shortcuts.
I hope this helps.

-open you notepad
-type in:
cd C:\Documents and Settings\(user name)\Recent
-and type this on the next line:
echo y| del *.*
-then save it as clear.bat or (anyname).bat on your desktop.
-it will prompt a command window for a sec. then your recent document list will be empty.
