Due to my not paying attention, I have managed to type the gui password in the host name dropdown along with a few mistyped renditions of host names in that same box.

Now when I use the dropdown button to select a host, I get to see those mistakes. Where are those names being stored and can I edit them out?

They are stored in the registry. You can get rid of them together with all your other links, by rightclicking the taskbar, properties, advanced, remove recently accessed files, documents etc. etc.

Or delete them from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Space Sciences Laboratory, U.C. Berkeley\\BOINC Manager\\ComputerMRU in the registry. (don't forget to reboot before this changes)

Thanks! Had to clear them out of the registry as the recent accessed setting is turned off on all machines.
