Need help deleting wireless networks in Vista

I'm wondering if there is a way to remove networks from the list. I live in an apt. building so a lot of networks show up and sometimes my laptop will automatically try to connect to some of them. When I go to "manage wireless networks" in the control panel, my network is the only one listed however.

snarfman, long time , no see. how ya been ? The thing about your wireless adapter finding any other radio signal from other routers is kind of hard to stop it from doing, it is suppose to. Morally , you should only use your ISP service , but, plenty of people do have open signals without a password on it and many people will connect to the internet if allowed. I allow my neighbor to use my router, but, i noticed , when i set him up, his computer found 3 routers, mine and another were password locked and only one was open . I gave him my password so as he can use my internet. So, i am not sure you can really stop your computer from " seeing " the other ones out there.

I have a netgear router and there is a setting called Enable Wireless Isolation. I don't know if that will do what you want. However, if it does, your neighbor probably won't be able to access your network. It's possible you could enable a Guest with Enable Wireless Isolation set. You would just have to try it.
