Block specific SSID

A neighbouring business has a wireless network which our computers
repeatedly attempt to connect to even though it is not in the preferred
list.

We do want users to connect to non preferred networks but to specifically
block this one SSID. Is there anyway to achieve this?

Hi
Some of the original utilities that are provided by the Wireless Card's
manufacturers can do it.
Try, and do not forget to switch Off Windows Wireless Utility when you use
the other.

No it is protected. Our computers can't connect to it but they try for an
extended period.

Would this network be "unprotected?"

I was hoping for a more network wide configuration which does not rely on
specific hardware.
