I've done a lot of remote desktop on my pc and the list of workstations in

the drop down list is growing.

 

How do you go about deleting names from the drop down list that are no

longer required?

Re: Remote Desktop

 

In the Registry, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server

Client\Default

 

Related entries that you probably also want to delete are in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\LocalDevices

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\UsernameHint

Gary gave you a specific answer. The general answer is: Create

an easily identifiable entry, then search the registry for this entry.

In many cases it is then obvious how you can delete it from

your list.

Re: Remote Desktop

 

Thank you.

 

I'm surprised that the only way to remove the listings is through the

registry.

 

Is there any way to have remote desktop all together not remember any of the

IP addresses and/or names of workstations that we are logging into...perhaps

a global setting.

Not that I know of. It's one of those strange MRUs that doesn't get cleared

by the normal means, and I know of no way to keep them from being saved.

Re: Remote Desktop

 

That's to bad. If you're at an internet cafe with restricted access, you

may not have access to the registry to remove your remote desktop IP

address.

 

Just curious, what is MRU?

Re: Remote Desktop

 

There are lots of things I wouldn't do from a public computer.

 

MRU = Most Recently Used
