How to change the display name of win7 network connection

 

We want to modify the name displayed under "current connection" on the network connection page, because sometimes we want to have a connection name that is easier to recognize, or you do not want to add a number after the connection (the connection is slightly changed, and the system will add a name for another peripheral device, that is, the number is appended, it looks very uncomfortable =. = ).

The modification is simple, that is, to change the registry values:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/networklist/profiles 

In each subitem under, find discription the SSID you want to modify, profilename the subitem of the display name you want to modify, and change the value of profilename to the name you need;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/networklist/signatures/unmanaged 

In each subitem under, find discription as the SSID you want to modify, firstnetwork as the subitem of the display name you want to modify, and change the value of firstnetwork to the name you need.

Connect again.

 

To avoid conflicts, you can delete unnecessary key values.
