Is there any way to remove or clear the browsing history which contains server names while you connect.
Thanks

Hi Rahul,
I have a quick solution for this, but it will clear the whole history of server names from the drop down.
If you are using SQL Server 2008, then navigate to the below path: (paste in RUN command)

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell

Search for file named "SqlStudio.bin", and delete it.
Make sure that you do not have any instance of SSMS opened while performing this operation.

Once you deleted it, open SSMS, it will automatically create the deleted file but with no browsing history. ☺
