How do I stop Vista automatically connecting to unsecured wireless networks?

Hi

While setting up new laptops for friends recently, I found they were picking
up numerous unsecured wireless SSID's and automatically.connecting to the
first one it could.

Before I'd had chance to finish setting up our own secure wireless, I was
constantly having to disconnect the laptop from various unsecured
connections.

As soon as I had disconnected one unsecure connection it would simply
connect to another unsecured one.

Is there a way to prevent this?

What an irony - normally its a pain getting wireless to work!

As I needed to setup our own wireless network, switching off the laptops
wifi wasn't an option.

Thanks for any info.

Ian
