XP Pro + SP1. Home user. Connected to cable modem via on-
motherboard ethernet adapter (Via VT6103).
------
If I use SysInternal's Regmon then I see a relatively large number of
failed accesses to network entries in the registry.
I would like to remove the existing entry for my ethernet hardware in
Control Panel > Network Connections and then put a new one in its
place.
(1) How do I delete it? Can I just delete the entry in Network
Connections or do I need to use uninstall in Device manager? or some
other way.
(2) How do I recreate a new entry in Network Connections for my
ethernet adapter? Will XP do it automatically whe it next boots?
(3) Is there an extra clean-up step which would be worth doing
before I reboot? What would I clean up and how?
