I think you are talking about cached network paths in your profile. Go into
Explorer and browser to c:\documents and settings\<your profile>\nethood and
just delete the references you no longer need. They are just shortcuts
saved to make it easier to find frequently used network shares. If you use
a share very frequently, it is better (and usually faster) to just map a
drive to it and not use the shortcut.
