10.5: Enable Bonjour Browser in ScreenSharing.app
Authored by: Coumerelli on Nov 12, '07 08:32:26AM

Great!. Now. How would one delete an entry in the "My Computers" group if they were to misspell it the first time - speaking hypothetically, of course. ;)

10.5: Enable Bonjour Browser in ScreenSharing.app
Authored by: DigiH on Nov 12, '07 10:09:25AM

Hi Coumerelli,

I asked myself the same question after playing around with this a bit ;)

In the end, after non of the usual key combinations seem to work, I opened the

com.apple.ScreenSharing.plist

where you can edit/delete the "SavedComputers" entries.

Hope this helps.

Remove saved computers in Bonjour Browser
Authored by: brazeej on Feb 27, '08 09:57:39AM

After banging my head on this for a little while, I wanted to clarify the hints regarding removing computers in the My Computer section of the Bonjour Browser of Screen Sharing.

There are several com.apple.ScreenSharing.plist files scattered around the filesystem. The one you want (which I found after opening several) is in ~username/Library/Preferences. Double-click to open with Property List Editor, then expand the Root entry by clicking on the triangle next to it. Locate the SavedComputers entry and expand it. Any computer that you've saved to My Computers in Screen Sharing will appear here. Simply select the entry for the machine you wish to remove and hit the Delete button towards the top of the Property List Editor window.

The Bonjour Browser (and indeed Screen Sharing in general) is a great feature - hopefully future versions will be slightly more user-friendly and allow, for example, removal of machines from the My Computers list without having to edit a plist file.
