I way to make sure this folder is always empty is to create the following
AppleScript and put it in your Shutdown Items folder.

Tell application "Finder"
activate
select every item of folder "Servers" of folder "System Folder" of
startup disk
delete selection
End tell

Then save this as a Classic Applet with the Stay Open option turned OFF and
the Startup Screen option turned ON

Place this file in the Shutdown Item folder of your System Folder.

Restart.

Now, every time you shut down the machine, it will clear out this folder and
get rid of that annoying "Searching for server" pause. I have used to very
successfully here on 5 laptops.

Please note that if you have any AppleShare servers set to mount at startup,
they will no longer mount.
