Today someone has asked me a question "How to clear the Most Recently Used (MRU) server names from the connect screen in SSMS"?
There is no feature in SSMS to clear the MRU from the Connect to Server screen.
When I launched SSMS 2008 the Connect screen, It has a lot servers listed in it. This information is stored in a file "SQLStudio.bin". This file is located in the below folder.
C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell
Now to clear the Server Names from the connect screen, First close the SSMS and than delete above file. If SSMS is left open while deleting file than again you will get the old Server name list. This is because SSMS update above file just before closing completely.
