Trivial question:- I run BOINC on a number of computers and over the years my list of remote machines under "Advanced - Select computer - Host name" has become a bit cluttered and unwieldly. Which file do I need to edit to clean up the "Host List"? Anyone know?

In the past I have even tried what I believed was a total uninstall of BOINC to clean this up. but back came the list with every host I have ever connected to.

Try to clean out HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Space Sciences Laboratory, U.C. Berkeley\BOINC Manager\ComputerMRU

It's either that, or it's just general Windows Recently Opened option.

Thanks Ageless

All cleaned up - wonder why it never occured to me that it was in the registry all along?

See even I have learnt something new today.

LOL, usually when I have looked at just about any file I can think of to find something that's done in BOINC Manager, I ask one of the developers where it could then be stored. I always get back, "same place as the last time you asked". ;-)
