HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Map Network Drive MRU
The names are held in the key above... what do you mean by automatically?
Edit, they also appear in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\PublishingWizard\AddNetPlace\Lo cationMRU

I think you need to run a little batch file or script to replace the existing key with a blank key each start up. I don't see any utility for doing this.

You can try that... but if it expects to write and can't, then I have no idea how that will be handled...

You can prevent any shares being added to My Network Places through Local Computer Policy. Specifically by enabling the policy User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Desktop\Do not add shares of recently opened documents to My Network Places.
To access Local Computer Policy go to Start Menu then Run command, type mmc then Enter. Once mmc opens go to File menu then Add/Remove Snap-in, click Add button, scroll down until you find Group Policy Object Editor, highlight it and click Add, Finish, Close and finally Ok.
