How can I clear all automatically added Jump List items for Remote Desktop?
Best Answer
Jump Lists are stored as files in %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations. The file for Remote Desktop is called 1bc392b8e104a00e.automaticDestinations-ms.
Delete it to clear the Jump List.
Restrict its file permissions to block Explorer from changing it. Make it a zero-byte file to forever block the Jump List for this program.
Information from threads on Technet's support forum point to this being a conflict with installed shell extensions. They suggest installing http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.zip to disable any third-party addons, and then try restarting to see if it gets fixed.
Failing that, you can cut all your data from these paths:
Use the "save as" button when you first configure the RDP session and use a name that has some meaning. Then "name.rdp" will appear in the recent list.
