    Hey everybody I was hoping someone could help me out. On some of my XP machines I started to setup the wireless card to disable when the user would plug in the lan cable. It worked great because alot of users would try and use both and just cause errors.

    We recently started to use W7 on some of our work machines and I wanted to setup this same feature which I notice is not there anymore. I thought this might be hardware specific but after having two of the same machiens one with XP and one with 7 it appears it was actually removed from the OS.

    Does anyone know if they perhaps moved it to a different spot or just gone for good?
