What needs to be done to change the default selection in the "connect to a
network" show selection dialog
....from All to Wireless.
 
Assuming you are also wired to a router, the router can bar the machine from
using it's internet connection with a Policy setting, forcing the machine to
only work with the available wireless connection.
 
That's not what I'm looking for.

When travelling I use the local wireless connection at the current location,
sometimes changing wireless connection several times a day. This means that
I'm often going into the "connect to a network" dialog to choose a
connection--or to see what connections are currently available.

Rarely do I use the dial-up connections I have created. However, those
dial-ups are at the top of the list of connections limiting the number of
wireless connections that can be seen. Choosing "wireless" in the drop down
box is valid only as long as the "connect to..." window is open. The next
time that the connect to window is opened it defaults back to "All": IMHO,
this is *really* poor design.

**I want to set the default connect to display to wireless., but how is this
done? I'm guessing that it's a registry hack somewhere.**

Moreover, I wish that the box could be resized to a desired default
size--like is possible with Explorer.

TIA!
