Why is it a problem? If you have it automatically connect to YOUR network, you never need to worry about that.

I'm sure you'll prove me wrong with a reason, but depending what it is there might be a way other than it not finding them.

Blah. Why do people always prove me wrong when I tell them they don't need to do something... I don't mean to be personal, but what sort of age is he? - I mean you could delete the "connect to" tab in thhe start menu..

You can have it not automatically connect to found networks, but I don't think there's a way to make them not show up.
