Remove an ad-hoc connection in Windows 7

If you’ve tried using the ad-hoc connection feature of Windows 7, but want to remove the network, how do you do it? Well it’s not exactly where it should be, but after some delving, I managed to find how to do it and here’s how:

 

1.       Open network and sharing centre

2.       Manage Wireless Networks

3.       Find your ad-hoc network, select it with the left mouse button, the right click and remove network

 

As per my earlier posts, using www.connectify.me is a much easier solutions and it work!
