Removal of Remote Desktop Connection Configurations

[Bob Felton]

I would like to remove all information (remote IP, username, password,
etc.) relative to previously used RDT connections on a RDT client
machine (Windows XP Pro). Where is this information kept? Registry,
file(s), or both? Thanks!

Check your machine for .rdp files.

<Q>
When you click Connect, the information you enter in Options becomes the
default setting for all Remote Desktop connections and is saved in a file
called Default.rdp.

The default connection file, Default.rdp, is stored as a hidden file in My
Documents. Connection files that you create are also stored in My Documents,
but they are not hidden. To edit an .rdp file and change the connections
settings it contains, right-click the file and then click Edit
