Rename and Delete Network Profiles on Win10 (Plus Win8 and Win8.1)

Unlike Windows Vista and Windows 7, Microsoft has dropped the GUI to manage (rename, delete and merge) network profiles on Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 (Why??)

Unused network profiles accumulate in the registry. I was able to see computers with regular access to public hot spots, containing more than 100 network profiles in the system for no purpose.

So I made this piece of software to manage (rename and delete) network profiles on windows.

The program is very simple but you can read the text file in the 7zip.

Hope it helps.

Thanks- helpful...

You are welcome!

If I want to rename/delete a profile, I will go to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles

This is exactly what the program does, but in an easy way :)

The readme file in the zip describes three alternative ways to change profile names, including changes on the registry...

If someone need an alternative can use Network Profile Name Changer v1.1 - Portable freeware
