Tried that. 3 hours later I said fuck it. Intel ProSet Wireless is not a nice piece of software. Of course, I'm also not a tech, so that could be my problem too.
But that wouldn't completely disable the WZC service, would it? I would just expect that it would force him to always manually connect to the AP.So it sounds like your boss decided to set a bunch of services to MANUAL/DISABLED. I expect more weird problems to occur cause some idiot thought they could save 10mb of RAM.
I like my wired network. That way, if I want to stop a connection I can just fold the wire of and pinch it off like a garden hose. ITS ALL JUST TUBES!
Why would my wireless networks tab always disappear from my wireless network properties window?
Because by letting Windows completely manage your wireless card it decides which drivers to load, which settings to use, etc. If the WZC service isn't started it won't load anything, your wireless NIC is so much dead weight in the system until configured. With no recognized wireless device there's no reason to add the Wireless Network Tabs.
Unfortunately it's one of the reasons Windows Automatic Networking sucks.
As for tinkering about with the other services... It's possible, but there were several hundred hits on google in regards to the WZC service having to be manually started every logon, so I doubt that's the case.
Technology sucks. I wish I knew more about it, and yet I'm glad I don't. It's such a pain in the ass to do something simple sometimes.
Like shave your sac?
I don't shave it. I use duct tape and a swift jerk.

I like to dry shave my balls. No water, no shaving cream, no warm towel, just my ball hair and a raw, dry razor.I don't shave it. I use duct tape and a swift jerk.
That explains the loud girly yelping sounds drifting down from the north.
Maybe it's karma getting you back for stealing your neighbors wireless connection.
