How do you get rid of old search paths. deleting them from File Locations Search Paths, doesn't work. The come straight back.
Where are the stored in the registry?
This is a screen shot from my pc which is ok. Some pcs have real junk in the search paths.

Ok, that does not do the trick.
I found the Search Paths are stored in the windows index system. That is where one has to remove them from.
