Tramp crazy, starts automatically on startup

[Emanuel Berg <incal@dataswamp.org>]

Tramp has gone crazy, it starts automatically on startup!

Here is some other poor soul having the same issue, what he
uses tho and how he solves, that doesn't ring a bell.

"Very annoying" no kidding, what IS this???

  Tramp tries to connect to remote hosts on emacs startup

  This happens when you used ido to browse directories on
  a remote host and it saved them in `ido-dir-file-cache`.
  Ido will then save this cache to
  `ido-save-directory-list-file` which is loaded when emacs
  starts up. You can use the following code to clean the cache
  of tramp entries when emacs quits:

  (defun ido-remove-tramp-from-cache nil
    "Remove any TRAMP entries from `ido-dir-file-cache'.
    This stops tramp from trying to connect to remote hosts on emacs startup,
    which can be very annoying."
    (interactive)
    (setq ido-dir-file-cache
          (cl-remove-if
           (lambda (x)
             (string-match "/\\(rsh\\|ssh\\|telnet\\|su\\|sudo\\|sshx\\|krlogin\\|ksu\\|rcp\\|scp\\|rsync\\|scpx\\|fcp\\|nc\\|ftp\\|smb\\|adb\\):" (car x)))
           ido-dir-file-cache)))
  ;; redefine `ido-kill-emacs-hook' so that cache is cleaned before being saved
  (defun ido-kill-emacs-hook ()
    (ido-remove-tramp-from-cache)
    (ido-save-history))
