Whenever I move my USB wireless card from one port to another, which happens from time to time; it creates a new connection.

Wireless Network Connection
Wireless Network Connection 1
Wireless Network Connection 2
Wireless Network Connection 3
Wireless Network Connection 4
Wireless Network Connection 5

All but the active one are hidden or don't show. Is there a way to delete those old ones? I thought there used to be.

It's annoying.

CCS\Services. They will be a value similar to this {1D9F5DD1-2AE5-4C62-83AC-B2885622258A}. I usually delete the ones with no keys under them.

They showed in device manager (showing non-present devices) but they would not let me delete them. I got it working for right now, but that machine is due for a wipe and re-install anyway. It's been a couple of years. It my personal desktop machine.
