Personally, I figure out how all of my applications work before I use 
them in any sort of insecure environment.

It seemed to me that you just posted a tirade on how lousy the software 
was for using a very common method of settings storage when really what 
was to blame was your own ignorance.

Don't get me wrong, I totally understand being caught unawares by code 
that isn't my own, I just think you could have written your request to 
the developers in a much more polite manner.

To fix your problem, fire up notepad, and paste in the following three 
lines:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RealVNC\VNCViewer4\MRU]

and save it as anything.reg. Double-click it, answer yes to the prompt, 
and then the MRU list will be deleted.
