Clearing computer name from RDP dropdown

    I am currently traveling, and the motel at which I am staying has no high speed access in my room. They do, however have a PC in the lobby available for guest use that does. I used it to log in to my home system using WinXP Remote Desktop, but I wanted to clear my tracks afterwards, since my IP is generally static, and I use a non-standard port to listen for incoming RDP. I found an MS KB article that addresses clearing that info by deleting a key value from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default that contains the IP address or computer name. I found it and, after deleting it, I checked the RDP dropdown and it was not cleared. I rebooted-- and it persisted. I searched the registry for any other instances-- and found none. I turned off Auto Complete, and deleted saved entries-- my IP address still appears, along with my login name and domain when I bring up the client. I did not save an RDP configuration. What am I missing?
