Control the MRU of Remote Desktop Plus
By default RDP+ will remember the last 20 servers you connected to. You can increase this up to 99 however, by adding a setting in the registry. To do this, create a new REG_DWORD value called MaxMRU in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Remote Desktop Plus (or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) and set it to the desired (decimal) value. Valid values are 0 through 99.
You can also make RDP+ sort the MRU list alphabetically instead of chronologically. This is done by adding a REG_DWORD value SortMRU and setting it to 1.
