thanks for the fast reply, but in my program folder there isnt any file called options.vnc :(
Furthermore i reinstalled uvnc 3 times and deleted this folder every time, so this history has to be saaved anywhere else.

i hope you have another idea :)

kind regards toombaumarkt

Old viewers used the registry to save it
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ORL\VNCviewer\MRU ?

then search for options.vnc
If the current folder is not writable, a normal user can not write the program files then we use the appdata.
Try
c:\user\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Ultravnc

If vncviewer.exe installed in "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)"
options.vnc is in the folder
%appdata%/UltraVNC
else
in the same folder as vncviewer.exe
In the same folder you also find the presets for each server (TEST2-5900.vnc, LOCALHOST-8888.vnc,..)

Edit options.vnc

[connection]
index=CBAi
A=localhost
B=ikke
C=TEST2

sample Remove B

[connection]
index=CAi
A=localhost
C=TEST2

Sample remove ABC

[connection]
index=i

To delete the History in the Server:Port Drop down box, Nav to your Username/ appdata.
like: C:\Users\NotBob\AppData\Roaming\UltraVNC.

You will find the options.vnc. edit with note pad and delete what you don't want to see in the list anymore.
Note: The other vnc files are saved connections and settings. if you customized resolution for a specific connection, or saved password. these are the settings for those connections. If you delete everything in that folder, you will have cleared the list and all prior saved settings.

Thanks a lot for this, none of the earlier replies were doing it for me!
