Howdy,
Ok I only recently installed my launch day copy of Windows 7 Ultimate Retail (x64) and so far everything seems to work fine, apart from one issue that I need to fix.
I installed a load of apps on my machine at one time, and then I rebooted. Upon reboot I find I have no internet connection, I look in Network and Sharing Center and there appears to be an Unidentified Network (Public Network) in my list of active networks. This sits below my home network, and it appears to be killing my internet.
The only way so far I seem to be able to get rid of it is to disable my ethernet port, then re-enable it and then the public network goes and my home one just remains, ala giving me back internet. Problem is, this damn public network keeps reappearing on reboot.
So I assume it's setup somewhere in W7 and just reinitiates on boot... how the hell do I tell it to NEVER come back? I'm happy to disable public networks full stop, cos I will never use it?
Any advice will be appreciated!

edit: Ideally I don't want to uninstall the programs I installed to find what was causing it if possible, I tihnk it may be CuteFTP, but I'm guessing, cos I intalled bout 6 programs and only saw the problem on reboot after that.
