Remove username list in launcher

[fighto.oh]

Hello, for few days me and 2 of my friends have been checking out DDO on my computer and i still have their usernames in my launcher on username list. How to clear that? Thanks in advance.

If on Vista / Win7 (I forget the location for XP), navigate to (you'll need to View Hidden Files and Folders):

c:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Turbine\Dungeons and Dragons Online\Launcher\

and find the file LauncherUserSettings.xml

<WARNING WARNING WARNING>

Modifying this file *could* render DDO unplayable. Make SURE to make a backup of this file BEFORE changing it.

Open this file using notepad (or whatever). You're looking for a data block that looks like this (replacing somenamehere with the username you're looking for:

<User Username="somenamehere" MostRecentNewsDateTime="0">
          <LegalFileDateTimes />
          <Subscriptions Default="hqmzm37mnfpth9mm233zmz7kd">
            <Subscription Name="hqmzm37mnfpth9mm233zmz7kd">
              <Worlds Default="Sarlona">
                <World Name="Sarlona" LastUsedDateTime="633969403132904000" />
              </Worlds>
            </Subscription>
          </Subscriptions>
        </User>

You'll find one of these data blocks for each person that's signed on your computer. Remove the block (suggested not to remove your name), being careful not to delete the </Users> line.

Save the file and relaunch the game.

My apologies for necro-ing a very old thread, but as it ranks high on Google searches for this topic, it's probably an appropriate place to put stuff for other future Googlers.

Where is the equivalent file located on a Mac?

So, I don't use/have the Mac Client for DDO, but I did tech support for Apple for a few years, and if Turbine is putting things in the traditional/expected locations there should be a Turbine folder inside of "/Users/<your account name>/Library/", that would be my best guess (and a good place to start, if nothing else).

On a side note to any Googlers who find this thread, it seems that at some point something changed, as the above directions for the Windows client no longer seem to have any effect at all.

windows:

userpreferences.ini file edited in notepad works for me (mine is located in my documents/ddo path)

I just delete all the stuff after:

[User_x] (with x being the number right above the username I want to get rid of)

Yeah, I dug all around the ~/Library directory, including in several sub-apps (like the DDOLauncher) but didn't find anything equivalent.

You might have more luck asking this question on the MAC Technical Assistance Forum. While there may be a few folks familiar with MACs who might read this, your odds are much better there.

Good luck!
