Try deleting this file C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Shell\mru.dat or if you are on windows vista/Windows 7 look for a similar file in this folder (C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Shell)

Becareful as you will lose any customization that you have done.

Check this and this for more details.
