Clean old wireless networks profiles

Dear group,

I would like to clea nout all old wireless profile to be sure not to leave
and inconsistent data.
In particular I installed a windows xp sp2 test machine and configured a
wireless WEP network successfully.
I then changed that netwrok from WEP to WPA and I also hided the SSID.
The xp sp2 machine is still finding the network even if I completly deleted
the profile.

A xp sp2 machine new installation instead doesn't find anything untill I
manually add the correct SSID and this is
the behaviour I was looking for.

Any idea where those info are cached ?

Regards,

Simone

Try to stop wzcsvc and then delete subkeys under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters\Interfac es
then restart wzcsvc.

Thank you!

You gave me the correct place where to look for. In the following registry
key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Param eters\Interfaces\{FEE688FC-21F4-4C70-84FA-FCD5FC70EF1B}

there is the "Static#0000"=hex: and "Static#0001"=hex:
Is enought to delete those key to have XP clear out all the wireless
informations so that you can load them from stretch...

Again thank you. Regards,

Simone
