When you need to switch a network from public to private
or private to public, and you do not what to pay homage
to Rube Goldberg, I have found it is easiest to go
straight to the registry. Uncomment (;) which one you
want below. Then reboot.
Public / Private network switch from the Registry:
In the registry, first identiry the {xxxx} from
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles\
Then switch "catagory" to the type of network you want. For example:
if {xxxx} was {162BD447-E88F-4AC3-90B6-0E064CE044E0}
