Is there a way to remove machine names from the "File-->Select Computer" drop-down list in boinc manager?

I was testing the remote management capability and successively typed in machine names, IP addresses, and incorrect machine names.

Now, I would like to clear that list, so I can then only type in the correct machine names.

Thanks,
JV

Remove the values for the computers that you wish to remove from the list. Make certain to renumber the rest so that they are sequential starting at 0.

Thanks. I figured it was in the registry. I just didn't know where.

Would you happen to know where I do that for a Linux machine as well? (I know I should probably post this one in the Linux section but since I started this thread here, I figured I would try here first).

Sorry, I don't have any *nix machines, and have no recent experience with *nix.
