This setting can hide all the network setup system icons like network setup wizard and wireless network setup wizard from the current applets list displayed in control panel. The network setup wizard system icon enables you to set up a connection for cabled network in home or small office environment, whereas the wireless network setup system icon can create a wireless network of computers in home or small office. For this, go to start > run, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a string value netsetup.cpl in dont load sub key, if this value does not exist. Setting the value data to no will hide the network setup system icons in control panel. After a restart or logoff the changes take effect.
