Removing Entries in the Mac Remote Desktop Connection Client

To remove entries from the Remote Desktop Connection Computerbox in the Mac Remote Desktop Connection client, delete the Users:Username:Library:Preferences:Microsoft:RDC Client:Recent Servers file.

Notes

The list of all destination connections (including previous connections) are stored in an MRUnumbervalue in the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default

Every new connection is given the value of MRU0, and the other values are then sequentially moved down in number. The MRU value can contain a Fully Qualified Domain Name or an IP address of the computer to which you connect. For example:

MRU0 REG_SZ 192.168.16.60
MRU1 REG_SZ computer.domain.com
