Does anyone know how? In Mac OS X v10.4.3 -Open the Network System Preferences Panel -Unlock it (if locked) by clicking the lock at the lower left and providing an Administrator name and password -In the Location: pull-down, select Edit Locations -In the sheet that comes out, select the locations to delete -Click the Delete button -When working your way out, be sure to click the Apply button jim

This proved fortunate in one case, I had forgotten the WEP for a certain LAN.

If You *really* want to get rid of *all* the locations, effectively resetting all your network settings, delete /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist It's weird, but all the *user*-specific locations, proxy settings etc are in that system-wide file. -filipp On 2006-02-08 08:21:44 +0200, "Richard Tomkins" <tomkinsr(a)istop.com> said: > You know, I've done just this with 10.3.9 and later in 10.4 and 10.4.4 and > the old locations keep coming back from somewhere. > > This proved fortunate in one case, I had forgotten the WEP for a certain > LAN. > > > "Jim Jaeger" <bogus(a)example.com> wrote in message > news:bogus-F33D89.20515107022006(a)news.isp.giganews.com... >> In article >> <Jeanne.Clelland-537368.21371107022006(a)peabody.colorado.edu>, >> Jeanne Clelland <Jeanne.Clelland(a)NOSPAM.colorado.edu> wrote: >> >>> In my Network systems preference panel, I have several locations that I >>> no longer need and would like to delete, but I can't for the life of me >>> figure out how to delete them!
