Windows Remote Desktop Remove History

Sometimes an IT professional needs to work on a server from other or public computers. Maybe he is not at his own desk while working. For which, the professional needs to use remote desktop tools. Here, we will discuss about Microsoft's Remote Access tool.  A remote desktop tool usually connects to any other computer in the network using an IP address. So, we need to provide an  IP address to get remote desktop access. But now the problem is that, when we provide an IP address, this tool saves IP information. It's a big security issue. If the computer used for remote access is the professional's own computer, in that case. there is no problem at all. But if the computer is a public computer then it is the biggest risk. Because the information is likely to be published here. So, all IT professionals should have deleted the IP address when finished. And how to delete these IP addresses, we will discuss this matter with this article. 

Remote access connection tool usually saves IP addresses in the windows registry. So to delete them, we have to delete from the registry. When we go below the path to the registry, then we will get those data. 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER  ->  Software  ->  Microsoft  ->  TerminalServerClient  ->  Default

The IP addresses we were used, here will be saved with the MRU name, also show the IP addresses we were used. A sample is shown below:-

For each of the IP addresses we are used, this tool generates a MRU file separately for those addresses. So, we can delete all MRU files or IP addresses and also, we can delete specific one MRU file or one IP address, whatever we want.

How can we do the whole thing, is shown through the screenshot.

First of all open the "Registry Editor" tool from the "RUN" menu. Type "regedit" from "RUN" program and then press enter. "Registry Editor" interface will be showed.

From here, expand "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" then "Software".

Now expand "Microsoft"

Now expand "TerminalServerClient" and then select "default". Now from the right panel, you will get all the MRU files.

From here, you can delete the IP address, which is saved by the remote access connection tool.
