How do you permanently disable the wireless. My old viao had a button and you could actually turn it off. my new computers all have a software disable. and it is as secure IMHO as any software, not much.
I have done it on Windows 7 and 8, with instructions I cut/pasted from...FR! I will look for them later, have to get to a meeting right now. Permanent means the sneaky computer won’t reset itself somehow. I think I lost patience that time I overshot the delete key and accidentally activated the darn thing.
Here ‘tis. (Sorry I can’t credit the freeper who wrote this, I didn’t capture that part.) The full nelson of uninstalling drivers, and the half if you’re not sure:
if you never ever plan to use wireless ever again, just uninstall the drivers:
Start->Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager
Then simply find the wireless and right click to uninstall.
And if he ever decided to use the wireless again, he would need to install the drivers.
He could simple just go in and disable the network card. No need to remove the drivers
what exactly do i disable in the list of drivers though
ive disabled bluetooth, because thats wireless,
...an easier solution:
start >> network connections: then right click on the wireless connection and select “disable”
This should shut off the wireless card without removing drivers (the removal of which may cause future headaches)
