Remove old domain name from windows logon drop-down box.

I am in the process of a little network cleanup and one of the things on my list is to remove an old domain from our windows logon dropdown list.  There used to be a trust realtionship between the two domians, but i thought I removed the trust with the AD Trusts and Relationships mmc.  The old domain was on an NT 4.0 box.  I have it turned off now and have not yet nuked the box.  Basically, I want my windows drop-down box to show our one and only domain.

You are exactly right as to the location of the registry entry.  I just deleted it and it seems to have worked.  Thanks for the quick reply.

Stop the WINS Service

Delete the database from c:\%systemroot%\system32\wins

Restart the WINS service.

This will rebuild the database and take out the unwanted domains.
