How can I remove the history of Mapped Network Drives from My Computer?
 
Maybe this will help:
Right click on my network places, and select disconnect mapped network drives, make sure settings are correct
and check there's not a logon script mapping these drives.

The drives are disconnected, but I don't want a list of previously mapped drives in the scroll box on the map drive window. I want to clear the HISTORY of these mappings!

Thanks
 
..maybe rightclick and Delete is the right thing to do, as in WinXP.

GoodLuck

Even though I've disconnected ALL drives and not logged off yet, if I open the Map Network Drives window by right-clicking on My Network Places, there is still a scrollbox with the heading 'Folder'. This box contains ALL previously connected drives (even though they are now disconnected and deleted).
How do I clear this scrollbox. I'm sure XP also keeps this history!

Thanks
 
It's in the registry. HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE > MICROSOFT > WINDOWS > EXPLORER > MAP NETWORK DRIVE MRU

HTH

 
Thank you lifto,

That did the trick.

Cheers
