Windows Vista includes a full IPv6 stack that is enabled by default. These
extra interfaces are part of that. There's no need to remove them.

Hi Vinay,

I just have the same problem, and I was wondering if you happened to
solve how to remove the list of unused tunnel adapters in ipconfig.

Thanks
Alfonso
