I am using a software product that is listing a Network Connection List, on
my WinXP laptop. I would like to delete old network adapters that I no
longer use from this system so they do not appear. Though in WinXP in the
Device Control Manager they only show up if the adapter is installed. Is
there a better way to remove these directly from the registry so they no
longer appear on the Network Connection List? Thanks.

Click to expand...

You need to right click on "My computer" and click "manage".
On the left, click "device manager", then on the right, browse to
"network adapters"
click the plus next to that.
right click the one you want to uninstall, and click "disable" not
uninstall!

If that doesnt work, let me know.
 
If you have muliple numbered connection such as "local connection 2" try
the following - Start>Connect to (show all connections)>High-light undesired
connnection>Delete
