Subject: How to remove old server from "Open server" list ? answer here
Feedback Type: Comment
Product Area: Notes Client

Release: 8.5.3
Reproducible: Not applicable

Hi, just to let everyone know this cool trick.

You may be plagued by old servers in the drop down list that appears in the "Open server" or "Open database" dialog box.

It comes from the Desktop.ndk (any release, 5-6-8). If you delete the file, you ged rid of the problem, but also of your dear old custom workspace.

IBM just recommends to remove the bookmarks with old servers in the workspace

but that does not work very often.

You may want then to use the DSKTOOL utility !

Download the tool, put it in your notes.exe directory. Create a txt file in same directory, and put this inside :

delete yourserver/yourdomain
delete "your server with spaces/domain"

Then run in dos cmd :
c:\IBM\Notes>dsktool text.txt -I

The only problem I got was that it could not understand my ID password with an accentuated letter.

I did tested on Notes R901.

Cheers !
