Hello people. Me and my notebook are never separated. It is one very good friend of mine. But, he has one built in feature which can make my life just more worse than it is now. It is automatic wireless adapter detection and configuration. It just starts without any encryption so that anybody can get inside my important things and made a disaster if he wants to. How to disable this feature from automatic start up? Thanks in advance.

Few simple things are needed to be done inside windows control panel folder. Go to the control panel by typing the ‘control’ in the run dialog box. Find the network connections folder and when you are inside, find the wireless network connections icon and right click on it. Find the advanced tab there and click on the Access points networks only. Final, remove the check mark form “Automatically connect to non-preferred networks”. Close the window and that’s it.
