Coming back to WAW I clicked "No" for any changes and when I got to "Favorites" all my XI's had become 0000-00000 -00000, anyway just zero numbered servers. Went to Internet option and reloaded XI's to Favorites. All is well in that aspect. But I cannot delete the ones that are Zero's, they just will not go away. What gives and any suggestions on getting rid of the servers with 0000's?

Don't think so, this is the second PC that this has happened to me and I can't delete the 0000 servers. They don't hurt anything I just find them annoying sitting in Favorites.

Then (admittedly in cod4) I went through all the config files to see where this info is stored, without any luck. My guess is that this is player profile specific setting. For a test, create a new profile or load a saved copy of your existing profile (backing up the present one). Do you get the same problem? Probably not. This would at least narrow it down to profile specific. Though how to subsequently remove them, I'm at a loss!!!

I could copy the Config and save it in a folder on my desktop and then go back and delete the above settings to see what might happen. If it screws I can put back the original Config file. Something to try when I feel adventurous or bored.

Some of my custom settings for movement were also changed. Do you have the same number of servers as I pasted? What I pasted is all I had in the Config.

I do have 4 or 5 Player Profiles and they all come up with the 0's in Favorites. Hmmmm... each Player has a "mpdata" file and also a "mpdatabk0000" mpdatabk0000 suspicious? Deleted the above file from one of my Players and still got the 0 servers.

Then try and see if you can delete those servers.
