Does anyone know how I can remove one of the computers that I have currently listed in the "My Computers" List of Leopard's ScreenSharing.app??

Thanks!

In Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences? Select the computer and click the minus (-) button. Or are you talking about somewhere else?

I am referring to the list of locally connected and Bonjour computers that appears when you launch the ScreenSharing.app manually by double clicking the ScreenSharing.app which is located in your System/Libraries/CoreServices folder on your Mac...

Backspace or delete key doesn't do it?

no...Backspace or Delete keys don't do it...

I tried editing the com.apple.screensharing.plist preference file and manually removed the computers, which seemed to reset my Screen Sharing tweaks (which were done using the terminal commands suggested by MacWorld here, but then when I re-entered the terminal commands in the aforementioned article to restore my tweaks, I noticed that doing so also removed the various items listed in the "My Computers" section of the screenshot above, which was my main objective to begin with...

Probably not the cleanest way to do it, but it worked
