    See this blog post:

    For SQL Server 2008:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell\mru.dat

    If you can not find mru.dat at above location look for mru.dat in following folder.
    C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\ShellSEM\mru.dat

    If you are using VISTA OS instead of XP OS. Replace C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Microsoft\ with
    C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ and it should work.
