How To Clear The Past Mapped Network Drives List

<<< Back

You'll find the list in W2K after opening the Map Network Drive Wizard. It's in the Folder drop down. There  you'll find a list of all the past drives you've connected to. To erase these follow these instructions.

 

1. Open regedit or rededt32 (Warning, don't tamper with this unless you know what you're doing and you  should backup your registry before attempting this.)

 

2. Find the

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-######-#########-500\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe rsion\Explorer\Map Network Drive MRU

 

3. There you will find the drives you've mapped.

Example, "a"=\\\\12.253.###.###\\C$

 

4. Delete all the lines with a letter in front, like "a" "b" "c"

 

5. You can leave the "MRUList"="dcab" line.

 

6. Close regedit.
