Re: Hiding unsecured wireless networks
said by Glen T  :For example, a client asked me to look at his kid's computer because one of his three kids could not print to the their networked printer. When I arrived, the child was not home, and no one knew her password, so we could not test the printing problem. Solution to that is remove the password so you can do the testing, then let them add it back in later.
In my house we have implemented a non-technical solution that works well with the kids - technically they have full internet access 24/7. Client software is the best way to control it technically. There are plenty out there reasonably priced, and some ISPs offer it for free.
As long as they have admin privliges, there is nothing you can do in XP that they can't undo. Even installing the internet limiting software can often be uninstalled (though you would know they did that). I think some cannot be uninstalled without the password - if you lose the password you have to reformat the drive to get rid of it.
