Clean Up the ArcCatalog Tree

If you have been using ArcGIS for any amount of time, you have probably found how useful ArcCatalog can be.  The ability to organize your files in an easy manor is just one benefit.  ArcCatalog gives the option to add folder connections.  As you add connections, the Catalog Tree begins to clutter up.  You will find that there are a lot of connections in view.  This can be frustrating unless however you know that there in an option to help clean up this view.

To unclutter the Catalog Tree, go into the Tools Menu -> Options.

Here you will find where you can select which Top Level Entities you would like shown.  Check/uncheck the entities you would like shown or not shown and then click OK to view the Catalog Tree view.

Now you have a clean Catalog Tree that is even easier to manage.
