Microsoft RDC on Windows (to open type mstsc in Start -> Run ) saves the history of previous computers you have connected to in the "Computer" dropdown.
How can I clear them, or selfectively delete entries?

Remove entries in the Windows Remote Desktop Connection client. Entries appear as MRUnumber, and are visible in the right pane. To delete an entry, right-click it, and then select Delete.
Disable Saving of Remote Desktop CredentialsOn the General tab on the Remote Desktop Connection dialog box, there is a check box called Allow me to save credentials. Turning this check box on, allows you to tell Windows, when you provide your credentials on the next dialog box, to save the credentials you enter.
You can find information about RDP connection history in Event Viewer logs: Security; Applications and Services Logs -> Microsoft -> Windows -> TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager -> Operational; TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager -> Admin.
1) Can Remote Desktop (RDP) Be Monitored? Yes. Using CurrentWare's remote desktop monitoring software you can monitor the computer activities of your end-users.
This can be done in Regedit
Open Regedit (Windows Key + R >> and then type in regedit >> Enter
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default
Then you can delete the entries starting with MRU and followed by a number.
The above registry will only store the 10 most recent unique connections, so navigating to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Server and deleting all the folders under Server will fully clear the history.
You may not be able to remove the last typed in location, it wont be in the list but it will be in the Computer: text field.
