[Solved] How to clean network Folders drop-down list?

[tjsuominen]

Hi,

I have a few non-valid mapped Network Folders under Net > Network Connections > Folder

\\addr1\folder
\\addr2\folder
\\addr3\folder

Which I would like to clean (= remove) from the drop-down list, but do not know how to do it... Seems they are not stored in wincdm.ini?

Thx!

Just do a right mouse click on a related entry to open a context menu.
Select the entry "disconnect" or alike (I don't know the exact wording, I'm German)

Hi.

That's not what I'm looking after, I know how to disconnect, but I would like to have those existing mounts to be removed from the drop-down list as selectable options...

That's a Windows dialog.

Delete the entries from the registry at:

Code: Select all

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Map Network Drive MRU

@ZoSTeR: thx, made my day! (Small, but irritating thing).

Off-topic:
This gave me an idea... could it be hard for MS to develope a sub-function that from UI where there are things controlled via registry, there could be an option (e.g. "right click" -> options -> "jump to registry") to manage this kind of things? And yes, for PRO users only, you have been warned ;o) Would sometimes save a lot of time searching...

Case closed.
