Dave,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I did uninstall v 8.3 using Add/Remove Programs. For what ever reasons,
the registry keys were never removed.

I used regedit and deleted the registry keys for 8.3 (services and software)
and now pgAdmin does not show the old server names anymore.

Thank you for you help.

Best Regards,

John
